>Current US law allows Kevin's scenarios (rape, mother's health) as justification for federal funding of abortion. Catholic Church also recognizes mother's health in danger as justifying abortion. Just saying. Yes, this is different from the belligerent posturing that it should be on demand. I note that Trump currently has moved to require separate facilities for providers doing both abortion and federally funded healthcare which particularly affects Planned Parenthood that makes most of its income from planned non-parenthood.



Post WWII the US Government, religious organizations, the press, families and even political parties had the respect of most people.

Since then there has been a systematic attack on all institutions and their members.
We hear about Nixon's booze, JFK's romances, the foibles of priests and the weakness of just about anyone in authority.
We went from Father Knows Best to I don't want to be alone with my boozing, abusing, philandering Dad who beats my doped-up Mom.

Sooner or later, some institution will have to gain/regain some moral authority here- warts notwithstanding.
The usual places where we'd expect to find it aren't working.
This is one of the - many- reasons that Trump came to power.

Here's one take on it.
