Comment #1: One Third of the People in this country would be
	    guilty if abortion were again a crime???
Comment #2: The Supreme Court does not pass laws, it merely tells
	    us all what the laws that exist really mean.  Therefore ex post
	    facto does not apply.  (Therefore nobody ever knows
	    what is or is not legal, therefore the present level
	    of respect fot the judicial system)
Comment #3: Nobody ever suggests "such a thing" until after it's
	    too late to stop them easily.
