Liberal Critics of Roe v. Wade

Timothy P. Carney has published a list of quotations from folks on the pro-abortion side of the fence who recognize that the Supreme Court decision in 1973 was a poorly reasoned and constitutionally ridiculous decision. Hopefully the next time there are confirmation hearings and Arlen Specter holds up a giant prop with all the decisions since that reaffirm Roe, someone will be kind enough to read a few of these quotes.

Specter's insistence that the numerous decisions made by a liberal court make Roe settled law - something ingrained in the consciousness of the country, begs the question of why, if it is settled law, it keeps getting challenged again and again and again in the courts and keeps winding up back at the highest court. Doesn't seem very settled to me.
