I don't think anyone on even the furthest fringes of the pro-choice movement disputes that you shouldn't commit an abortion after the mother has gone into labor.

Justice Alito is deeply deluded if he thinks that judgment based on 17th century science has anything to do with the modern debate on first trimester abortions. What an absolutely unfit lunatic!
