Abortion and a strong leash

From the Wall Street Journal editorial page...

James Taranto, editor of the "Best of the Web" blog, notes that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, many of the staunchest pro-life legislators will wish it hadn't been.

Rather like a small dog which is ferocity personified while on the leash or safely behind a fence, the strongly pro-life may find themselves set back on their heels once there are no more barriers to fighting the scourge of abortion itself.

Federal legislators would be well advised to pay attention to the 10th Amendment and let the States deal with the issue. What happens in the States, though, is liable to be interesting.
