You're no more qualified to say it is than RJ is to say it isn't. The Supreme Court should have left abortion to the states in Roe v. Wade. Had they done so back then, we wouldn't be arguing about Supreme Court nominations based upon one issue that, frankly, will never affect the majority of Americans anyway.

If abortion does make its way back to the Supreme Court, regardless of who's on the bench at that time, I would hope the decision is to leave that issue to the states rather than allowing nine lawyers to become gynecologists again.

You left out the rest of my comment.

I was asking RJ if he doesn't consider an unborn child a human being, and pointing out that the belief that they aren't human was once used against blacks.

As far as the rest of your comment, I agree with it. But for it to be left to the states now, Roe vs Wade would have to be overturned by the SCOTUS (unlikely no matter who becomes Kennedy's replacement) or by an amendment to the Constitution which is nearly impossible.
