No. The court is ordering the state to allow the necessary medical procedure, NOT mandating to the pregnant woman that she must have an abortion. You either need to read the article more closely, or stop changing the words into different meanings, whichever is relevant.

Unless the OC says anything, I'm not assuming there was any sarcasm. I knew too many people back home who honestly believed such things.

As long as the fetus is baptized so it's soul may enter the Kingdom Of Heaven then mandatory abortions guarantee salvation inshallah 🙏
