A recent incident involving Rep. Brandon Gill, a Republican rising star from Texas, resulted in a viral exchange of questions from the party's base during a House Judiciary Committee meeting. Gill challenged pro-abortion witness, American University law professor Jessica Waters, to name her favorite type of abortion. The response from the conservative base was overwhelmingly positive. The video of the interaction was shared on social media and received hundreds of thousands of likes. Gill's stand against abortion was seen as an affront to God, who established the principle of retributive justice for the murder of preborn babies. The author argues that while Republicans have been avoiding discussions and action on abortion since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, they have also been ignoring civil authorities who tolerate abortion.
