In June, the Supreme Court will review a case challenging a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion advocates are worried that, if the court, increasingly viewed as conservative, reverses the constitutional right to abortion, then 26 states may go ahead and ban abortion. This case and a Texas fetal-heartbeat law prohibiting abortion past six weeks have energized them into fervent campaigning. Democrat states are rallying with them by proposing laws allowing abortions right up to childbirth—and beyond. Indeed, a Maryland bill may effectively legalize infanticide.
How did America reach a stage in which legislatures entertain the idea that an individual’s right can take precedence over the right to life? The blame lies with advocacy groups dyed in leftist, feminist, and critical theory ideology. A systemic flaw they have exploited is the sponsored bill. It allows them to write a bill—clause, comma, and full stop—and gets it proposed by a pliant or sympathetic legislator. More on that in a future column. This one looks at how America has become so deeply divided by abortion laws that states discuss without guilt the murder of newborns.
Two landmark Supreme Court cases—Roe v. Wade in 1973 and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992—decided the fate of fetuses in the U.S. Both upheld a woman’s constitutional right to seek an abortion. Casey doubled the first trimester borderline for abortions to 24 weeks (about six months) but with allowance for appraisal of fetus viability. States could therefore legislate restrictions between the end of the first trimester and the end of 24 weeks.

There is no slippery slope here...once abortion is “legalized” we are in hell...there is no lower to get...just whom will share in the unholy slaughter...
What slippery slope?? Murdering a “defenseless” human being from the time of conception until a natural death occurs is murder. Age has “0” place as a defense.
I wrote that in a college paper in 1976 and was taken down a grade for it.
See my tagline.
King Herod 2.0!
Pre-term, post-term, what’s the difference in a few minutes…..
Abortion is infanticide, genicide, all perfectly wrapped in complete horror.
.
Recently confirmed in Maryland where a bill was introduced by one of the elected psychopaths in Annapolis to legalize the murder of an infant anytime within 29 days AFTER its birth!
Abortion, from conception forward, is the murder of an innocent preborn baby by the mother of the baby.
