New York Times editorial around the time of Roe versus Wade:
“The court’s verdict on abortions provides a sound foundation for final and reasonable resolution of a debate that has divided America too long.”
“Respect for Privacy” New York Times, January 24, 1975
Quoted in Ramesh Ponnauru The Party of Death (Washington DC: Regnery Publishing, 2006) 96
Obviously, the New York Times underestimated the commitment of pro-life individuals. It is 41 years after Roe vs. Wade, and the abortion battle continues. Pro-lifers have been very successful in recent years and passing restrictions against abortion, and they are not stopping anytime soon
