Texas judge delivers on the hopes of his antiabortion world

Matthew Kacsmaryk has long been immersed in a community that is staunchly opposed to abortion

When Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk was a young father, his wife captured much of their daily life on a parenting blog that highlighted the family’s strong antiabortion beliefs.

One photo showed one of their children, a toddler, in a T-shirt that read “I survived Roe v. Wade.”

“As you might guess, Matt LOVES this shirt,” Kacsmaryk’s wife wrote in January 2009, referring to her husband. “I put it on her today not even realizing that today is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.”

Now, 14 years later, as a 45-year-old federal judge in Amarillo, Tex., Kacsmaryk lives in the same antiabortion world he has inhabited his entire adult life, surrounded by friends and family who abhor the procedure, while holding the same views himself, as The Washington Post reported in February. Those perspectives, rooted in deeply held Christian beliefs, have swirled around him over the past five months as he deliberated whether to revoke government approval of a key abortion drug — a decision with nationwide implications that some close to him felt he was destined to make.

This corrupt judge obviously considers himself a good follower of the teachings of Christ...and he'll be on the bench for decades to come...
