Rick, I think you failed freshman criminal law, ... no... you failed junior high school civics.

Unless something changed while the Republicans were in the majority of the House in the last 13 months, AND unless the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade while I wasn't looking, abortion is NOT A CRIME in ANY of the 50 states and U.S. Territories!!
