ABSTRACT: We show that the Constitution gives Congress the power to either ban abortion completely, or make it fully legal until birth. We argue that in the end Congress will have to do one or the other, if it is to be in compliance with the Constitution. And, we “pile on” by offering for Congressional consideration our thoughts as to precisely when human life begins.
