I am pro choice, I just don't like the logic the USSC used. Even a right decision decided for a wrong reason is still wrong.

Personally, I wished they just would have said that standard practice is that life begins at birth, and thus abortion is not murder, but a medical procedure and that the state has no right to interfere in a medical procedure. If the majority of Americans disagreed, then a constitutional amendment would have to be passed stating that life begins at conception and all federal laws would have to comply with it (i.e. granting tax exemptions for pregnant people instead of waiting to birth or granting automatic citizenship to foreigner children conceived in this country).
