Gehrke: Why this fight over abortion is cruel, calculating and all-together too real

Partly because, anatomically, my opinion on the topic doesn’t count for much. But mainly because passions are so high on the issue that reason goes out the window and people often say and do stupid, counterproductive things.

As you’re probably aware, these states have been trying to one-up one another to see which can pass the most ridiculously restrictive abortion law in the country. Each now has passed laws that make it a felony to perform an abortion in almost any circumstance from the time there is a fetal heartbeat onward.

It doesn’t take an Alabama-quality education to recognize that these are not serious attempts to curb or stop abortions.
