Reform, Don’t Repeal

“Even if these good aspects of the legislation [the health care bill] are outweighed by its bad aspects, that is, if the net effect of the legislation at the moment is to advance abortion, it should not be repealed,” writes law professor and First Things writer Richard Stith in today’s second “On the Square” article. He goes on in Reforming the Pro-Choice Market to explain how the plan can be made a pro-life one and profoundly change the place of abortion in American health care.
