By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing - Recently the Republican National Committee changed, or was imposed upon to change, its historic assertion, in the tradition of Lincoln, that the Declaration of Independence and the 14th Amendment as interpreted in light of that Declaration imply that abortion must be illegal – in all states and jurisdictions. Abortion law can no more be a patchwork than slavery law.
