What price resignation? Leaving the ABA over abortion is not morally necessary

Article Abstract:

Ralph Lancaster's views on when life begins and on abortion deserve respect, but the fact remains that a majority of Americans do not share his views. Moreover, each child born also has the right to a loving parent, and the lack thereof all too often leads to child neglect and abuse, a real tragedy. Just as Mr. Lancaster's opinion deserves respect, so do the pro-choice positions of so many other Americans. Leaving the ABA means denying the need for leadership in the law profession, and for diversity and pluralism in our politics and society.

Differences of opinion

Article Abstract:

The Common Sense Legal Reform Act backed by Republicans in the US House of Representatives would make a number of changes that the ABA opposes. Product liability would largely be handled by federal rules, while the ABA prefers state control and freedom. The act also would change various elements of shareholder litigation, while the ABA takes issue with a number of these points.

Article Abstract:

The majority which tort reform Republicans now hold on Alabama's Supreme Court is discussed. Republicans allied to business hold a 5-4 majority there, and the court has the reputation of throwing out class action certifications, vastly reducing damage awards and forcing plaintiffs into binding arbitration.
