I usually trace it to Roe vs Wade. But, it might go further back than that.
Tomorrow, we are going to be treated to countless stories of "heroic" mothers making the "sacrifice" of spending Mother's Day @ war while their infant children grow up motherless. And we accept this.
So, I think we're seeing the fruits of 100 years of the state's war on the family and faith.
You make an excellent point.
I have argued that in the years to come, the Roe decision will be viewed as one of the worst, if not the single worst, decision ever delivered by the US Supreme Court.
