Will the mayor of seattle now ban abortions because he has a 'moral imperative' to protect the lives of the preborn or is his 'moral responsibility' for convenience only?

If it feels good you gotta do it. I wish I could count on that defense being available TO ME in any disagreement I might have with those nasty old written laws.

I have a pdf of the AG's Opinion that I'd post somewhere if I knew how.

Focus on locking up hardened criminals, Mr. Mayor.
