The Blackmun Myth

Last month, a federal court upheld South Dakota’s law that women seeking abortion be informed “that the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being.” This is good news for people who believe women should have full information about abortion. But make no mistake: The South Dakota law will not, as some pro-lifers believe, pose a “challenge” to Roe v. Wade. Pro-lifers should be realistic about their short-term goals.
