Blank slate Harriet 
Dahlia asked. So I answered:
The American Bar Association requires accredited law schools to teach a course in Constitutional Law. As Roe v. Wade is undeniably a case of significant importance in this area of law, for a law student to claim to never discuss the merits of the case is ridiculous. In modest defense, law school professors do not often discuss current Supreme Court decisions in class due to the amount of material that must be covered. If Ms. Meiers were a law student at the time, perhaps the merits of Roe v. Wade were not discussed.

However, Roe v. Wade is a case that can not be ignored for parties of either political persuasion. It is certainly reasonable that she has read articles or other cases explaining the merits. And as an experienced lawyer, the difference between discussing and reading is not too fine a hair to split.
