I can make a moral case against Abortion and proclaim the Gospel of Life regardless if we ae in a pre-Roe v Wade or post Roe V Wade and now back to in reality a pre USA Roe v Wade.

The issue is are we trying to have a Federal Law that outlaws Abortion, that while consistent with my Catholic pro life theology, is not going to work unless it is a Constitutional amendment. A simple law that restricts Abortion at the Federal level can be repealed by a Dem Administration.

If a Federal Law is to be passed, absent a Constitutional amendment, it will have to probably in my view rely on viability of the unborn infant to make a law and that could perhaps be upheld by SCOTUS.

So this article is about the Legal and political realities of abortion and is not best I can tell from a Theologian be they Catholic (which I am), Eastern Orthodox or among the various protestant confessions.

Well abortion, like slavery is based on the assumption that a human being can be the property of another.

So yes, we would need the equivalent of a Thirteenth Amendment to protect the unborn.

And yes, it will almost certainly result in hostilities, but so be it.
