| Blue State Pill Sharks Ship Abortions across Red State Lines, Triggering Lawsuit |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| "Leaving it to the states" sounded good in theory, but in practice? The abortion debate has never been more volatile. That's because the war over destroying unborn children isn't just being waged in one of the most unusual places, but also one of the least regulated: the mail.

"In any sane universe, you should look at this cold-blooded assassination and be able to bring a moral judgment that this is wrong," said David Closson, director of Family Research Council's Center for Biblical Worldview, on "Washington Watch" Friday. "But for those who are operating from another worldview, you are going to start asking other questions about ... class dynamics. ... And that's where you get some of this moral confusion." |
