On a separate note, any argument that says abortion should be legal because the child's life would be difficult is on dangerous ground. Not only are people fighting for abortions in cases where the baby will be born with some deformity, but now the child's financial status growing up is reason to abort? In my opinion the only reasonable difference of opinion among people would be when does life begin. Arguments that use fetal imperfection, or financial abilities of the parent(s) run the risk of becoming racist.

Another well said commentary.
First, read the opinion. The Supremes put the decision back to the states. Judicial restraint was lost for many years.
Second, we need to tread lightly here. No person should delineate what constitutes a life worthwhile. Elitism at work.
