"We don't have the answer to everything, but by God we have an answer to a lot of stuff...especially the most controversial: whether the death penalty is unconstitutional, whether there's a constitutional right to abortion, to suicide, and I could go on."

(Washington, DC)—In a recent interview with California Lawyer, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated that abortion is not included in the U.S. Constitution.

Scalia, who is opposed to the notion of an "evolving" or "living" Constitution, told interviewer Calvin Massey that by giving some of the "necessarily broad" provisions of the Constitution an "evolving meaning," these provisions fail to do their job, which is to put in place limitations on what society can or cannot do.

Even if "the current society has come to different views [than the original framers]," he said, "you do not need the Constitution to reflect the wishes of the current society."

Instead, he said, when something isn't found in the Constitution, it should be taken up by legislators. One of the examples that he used to illustrate this point was abortion.

"You want a right to abortion? There's nothing in the Constitution about that," he said. "But that doesn't mean you cannot prohibit it. Persuade your fellow citizens it's a good idea and pass a law.

"That's what democracy is all about. It's not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing these demands on society."
