I have wondered whether there is a connection between Dr. J. Marion Sims and the first abortion criminalization statute in Alabama (1852).

Thank you.
I started researching everything having to do with abortion in 2012 because of Republicans in the state legislature. I read about the Catholic Church's doctrine on abortion, and it was all about the timing of ensoulment.

Rev. David Black and Rev. Hannah Kardon are mainline Protestants, not evangelical Christians. It's like a whole different religion. Prochoice. Not in bed with politicians.

If you have evidence that Bondi had knowledge of the charges against Epstein before the Miami Herald published @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series on Epstein, please let me know.
