>> Equal protection under the law would be my first pick for constitutional protection of abortion[..] Yet the law can compel a women to carry a fetus to term against her will?
But wouldn't that introduce the issue of whether or not the foetus should be entitled to equal protection (which most anti-abortion voters would suggest is a child and should be protected/have rights)? Seems odd to make it a man/woman equality issue.
