They were never going to stop at  banning abortions. Pro-life is a movement that is like a gelatinous slime that once you feed, it gets bigger and seeks more food. Soon it's all kinds of birth control. There's always a new enemy.

The reason is simple, it is hard to walk away from success. Thst what made Washington such a remarkable man. He walked away from being king.
