	Blackmun, Harry Andrew - MSN Encarta
		Harry Andrew Blackmun (1908-1999), associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1970 to 1994.
		In his early decisions, Blackmun’s votes on cases closely paralleled those of Chief Justice Warren Burger and supported the authority of government over the rights of the individual.
		Although he did not regard the death penalty as “cruel and unusual punishment” (and therefore prohibited by the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States), Blackmun’s dissent in Callins concluded that the Court’s attempts to ensure fairness in applying the death penalty had failed.

	Harry Blackmun
		Harry Blackmun, the former American Supreme Court judge who has died aged 90, was best known for his ruling in the 1973 case of Roe v Wade, which for the first time recognised a woman's constitutional right to abortion; his judgment ignited one of America's most explosive political debates.

		Blackmun claimed to find decisions involving the death penalty "particularly excruciating", since he was not convinced of the propriety of capital punishment, or of its effectiveness as a deterrent.

	Retired Justice Harry A. Blackmun dies at 90: 3/5/99

		Harry Andrew Blackmun was born Nov. 12, 1908 in Nashville, Ill., the son of Cozwin Manning Blackmun and the former Theo Reuter.

Citing obstetrical texts, he placed this point at roughly from 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy.
