During a political discussion last week, a man told me that he knew abortion was murder, but couldn’t understand how there shouldn’t be exceptions for rape and incest. It was a statement that could remind one of G.K.

But now fewer politicians are calling murder in this context excusable (or, at least, politically necessary). In fact, ever since Alabama enacted a 2019 prenatal infanticide ban without rape and incest exceptions, such laws have proliferated.
