Justice criticized on abortion comment

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated on CBS News' "60 Minutes" that "the Constitution doesn't prohibit abortion any more than it allows it" according to an article in the Daily Herald recently. I wonder if Justice Scalia has ever watched a video of an abortion-in-progress during the first or second trimester of the birthing process?

Why does a mother-to-be have the right to snuff out the life of a baby while "John Doe" is charged with a double murder when an expectant mother with child is killed?

I believe our Constitution puts a high value on a life at any age with the intent that all citizens of our great nation should be protected.
