## Opinion text

SUMMERS, C.J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
¶ 1 I dissent from parts III and V for the reason that I agree in large part with the views expressed by Justice Hodges on the necessity for viability of the fetus. I concur in parts I, II, IV, VI, VII, and that part of VIII other than in its references to the viability issue.
