Professor Franck: Thank you for your most recent post providing an answer to my question raised in your initial post. You accurately described me in your article when you stated "Many pro-life activists are in the habit of referring to “abortion on demand,” but may be familiar only with the broadest legal outlines of the phenomenon. Close students of the Court’s rulings over the last 36 years—and many of those close students are also in the pro-life ranks—can assure those activists that the phrase is perfectly accurate." I am a pro-life activist, and I wanted to be able to defend my position with respect to the claim of abortion on demand being the law of the land. I thank you for your explanation.

As a side note, your post made me read the Casey decision. The dissent from Justice Scalia, which I think is brilliant, also made me laugh out loud on several occasions. Thanks again.
