Abortion 'too fundamental' For Judges

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated that "abstract moralizing" has brought disruption to the American judicial system. He feels that judges should not be able to determine what happens over issues involving things such as abortion and assisted suicides. He believes it goes against democracy and that society should have a say in these "value-laden decisions." Scalia stated, "I believe in liberal democracy, which is a democracy that worries about the tyranny of the majority, but it is the majority itself that must draw the lines."
