• I don't think the law exists to arrive at the truth. If it did, we wouldn't have exclusionary rules, we wouldn't have presumptions of innocence, we wouldn't have proof beyond reasonable doubt.

But I believe reasonable people can come together and put good law in place that will help reduce the number of abortions.
