By Thomas Jipping ~ In a New York Times column published Tuesday, Bret Stephens argued that while Roe v. Wade was “ill-judged” when decided in 1973, overruling it today would be “a radical, not conservative, choice.” His premises and conclusion are both wrong.

January 31, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

By Thomas Jipping ~ President Joe Biden has announced the creation of a commission to examine “reforming” the courts.
