I still contend that if abortion had been legalized state by state by the respective legislatures it would be no more controversial today, politically, than legalized gambling.

Do you really think that a credible Constitutional case can be made for striking down laws against prostitution ? Incest ? Polygamy ?

And, more importantly, if the Court did do such a thing what do you think the political firestorm would be like ?

And, no, I’m not saying Lawrence was wrongly decided.

“The Courts have no business overturning laws against prostitution as this is clearly something that has traditionally fallen within the police power of the state.”

You’re joking, right? Are you suggesting that Lawrence v. Texas was wrongly decided?
