Overheard last Sunday morning on TV....

George Will:  "We're in the mess, in a way, because Justice Blackmun, when he wrote the opinion in Roe vs. Wade, discovered something constitutionally and morally profound in the fact that the number of months in the gestation of the human infant is nine, and that's divisible by three.  So we wound up with "first trimester," "second trimester," and "third trimester," with different rights of the state and the individual.  Let me ask you a question: What would our constitutional law look like if the number of months in the gestation of a human infant were a prime number?"

Sam Donaldson: "What's a prime number?"
