Furthermore if 52 years does not create a "historical value", then for those who say that Roe v Wade is the law of the land and should be accepted because of it precedents as well as the age of the decision, 36 years, seem to have no backing for their arguments either.

You should check your facts a little better next time.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
