The Kermit Gosnell trial has relaunched a heated debate about the morality of late-term abortions. While campaigning in 2008, in fact, Barack Obama denounced the practice but has done little to stop it let alone address it while in office.

President Obama disagreed with that as well. So, why isn’t anything being done about it?
