Re: Statements of fact?
Abortion is a modern legality which reflects the modern degeneration of American morals and values.

The 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling is the law in the US, as far as abortion goes. & no judge TMK has advocated murdering children - or you need to furnish proof or @ least a cite somewhere. The irrefutably universally recognized legal right isn't abortion as such - it's the right of the woman to privacy in opting (or not) for a medical procedure - in this case, an abortion.
Yah, US Army Major, pediatric neurosurgeon & VA Gov. Northam described how a late-term third trimester abortion (very rare, & done only for therapeutic reasons) might be decided upon in VA (he was describing either past or current procedure, I don't recall which - & I assume based upon his medical experience - his specialty was likely to be called to consult on that matter) & he was contrasting it with a recent bill [in the last VA legislative session] proposing changes to the decision-making on that procedure. The proposed bill was bottled up in committee, it never went to a vote, & died in the legislature. & of course, for all his virtues & accomplishments, Gov. Northam is not a sitting judge, nor is he likely to become one.
& we're still in the Political forums, Abortion section of this site. Which means that there is more involved in abortion in the US than just the religion or theology or morals of the issue. I think everyone would prefer less abortion, & more birth control in the US instead. But the anti-abortion forces are also (mostly) adamantly opposed to better & wider dissemination of birth control methods & devices. That leaves the anti-abortion groups trying to push a mountain uphill. Unless & until we gain complete mastery over pregnancy & birth - there is always going to be some tiny fraction of therapeutic abortion out of the total universe of pregnancies.
