Disapproval of homosexuality cannot justify invading the houses, hearts and minds of citizens who choose to live their lives differently.

The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.

From this day forward, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.

The flaw in the statute is that in all its applications, it operates on a fundamentally mistaken premise that high solicitation costs are an accurate measure of fraud.

I cannot see any of these death penalty cases where there hasn't been a violation on the ground of either poverty or race. If we can ever get that straightened out, it will help. But, of course, the real answer to it is to do away with the death penalty.

The death penalty experiment has failed.

We're all eccentrics. We're nine prima donnas.
