text: MSNBC is real news, although some of the opinion pieces are slanted, but their facts are right.  You are obviously ignorant of both Dignitas Personae, which does not require we become a Catholic nation, including on abortion, even if we have Catholic legislators or equal protection law, which states that it is not the manner of the fetal death that makes a difference, but their legal status before that happens.  Right now, they have none, largely because the one body that could grant it, Congress, has not.  If Congress did grant it in the first trimester, than what happens in the eyes of the state must be equal as far as tort relief and criminal investigation for all embryos and fetuses with personhood.  Otherwise, every medical chart for every abortion would be listed as a miscarriage and that would be that.  Since the idiots who went to Liberty Law School would aggressively prosecute as their ticket to Congress, parents of the miscarried would fight back and rightly so.
