A Reflection on Roe v. Wade
The author of the opinion, Harry Blackmun, had been the general counsel of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. His 2d grade classmate, chief justice Warren Burger assigned him to write the opinion but according to the folklore that has emerged, William Brennan, the only Roman Catholic justice then on the Court, was the brains behind the decision: selling the six other justices in the 7-2 majority on the medieval notion of the "quickening" of a fetus.

9 THINGS
3. The husband is not the savior of the wife in any way. Ephesians 5 says that he is to love his wife as Christ loves the church -- and then the REST of it is about Jesus.

South Carolina Supreme Court Divides the Baby
The analysis of whether Holy Cross, Stateburg satisfied the second element discussed above--intent to create a trust--is the same as our analysis for St. Paul's, Bennettsville, but the outcome of the case for the two Parishes is different. This is because Holy Cross, Stateburg took affirmative present action in its 2011 Bylaws to "accede[] to the . . .
