The Hon. Ruth Bader Ginzburg is plain wrong about Roe v. Wade. I do not often disagree with her, but when she says that the Supreme Court should have let matters take their own course, and that by accepting the case the Court, "seemed to have stopped the momentum that was on the side of change," she is not only wrong, she is horribly wrong at the worst possible time. Because here's the thing: sure, the arc of history is long, and sure it bends towards justice, and yeah, no doubt given an infinite number of state legislators and an infinite number of typewriters we'll get around to guaranteeing people the rights that they ought to have-- but in the meanwhile there are people who would like those rights now. And they should have them, now.
