Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : On the matter of abortion, wrote the clerk, that doctrine was particularly compelling.
50% : Here is an excerpt from Prager's article:Souter knew that abortion was likely to return to the Court during his tenure.
50% : Now, I care about Justice Souter's views on stare decisis as much as I care about Chief Justice Burger's views on the Second Amendment, or Justice Powell's views on viability or diversity.
46% : " Still, the clerk allowed that if Souter felt it prudent, concerns over stare decisis would be less severe with "a relatively minor adjustment of Roe," namely, replacing the trimester framework with the "undue burden" standard of regulation that Justice O'Connor had endorsed a decade before; any law that unduly burdened a woman's right to obtain an abortion would be invalid.
42% : When contacted by CNN about Planned Parenthood v. Casey, he said he wanted "to be excused from voicing recollections of Casey."
