I disagree, and here is why. While I think this is a pointless move they do have the intention of taking this to the courts in an effort to approach the argument in Roe v. Wade another way, essentially getting the court to overturn the decision. Do I think it's wrong and pointless and a waste? Yes, but not everyone does. Also, a blanket way of approaching that would be far too ambiguous. How do we determine what is really a waste and what is not?
