It took me a while to get this. Thank you, Tom, for your persistence. A primary feature of the bankrupt prolife movement is not speaking truthfully about this and many other matters. Truth is a hallmark of the Christian life.
I’m not saying that abortion is lawful. I’m just using the word “legal” to mean that it’s practice with the protection of our governing authorities. Are you saying that abortion does not happen and that our governing authorities are not disobediently allowing it?

Continuing to say abortion is legal, when it is not, and never can be, misleads people, and undermines all the foundations of our moral, constitutional, and legal arguments. And it gains you nothing other than availing yourself of a lazy, false, shortcut. It's perfectly fine to say that abortions are currently being done under the color of law. That's accurate, and points people to the truth, which is that under true law, and under our Constitution, the supreme law of our land, abortion is NOT, and never can be, legal.
