Sotomayor and the issue that won't go away

At this writing, Judge Sotomayor is undergoing the process to be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice. Her hearings have twice been interupted by anti-abortion protestors.

Sotomayor, a Catholic (cultural, not religious) told the assembled senators that Roe v. Wade is "settled law".

Hmmm. Settled law, perhaps, but not a settled moral issue. Consider that one of the arrested protestors was the very woman whose quest for an abortion gave us Roe v. Wade. It seems she had an unsettled heart.
