The notion of legislative "incremental change" is ludicrous, because the whole abortion fiasco arose and continues in the Federal Court system. Short of a cataclysmic change in the Congress and the growth of some very large brass gonads to remove any jurisdiction over abortion from the purview of the Federal courts (a power the Constitution SPECIFICALLY gives the Congress....though it has never been used), ANY legislative approach, incremental or not, is simply doomed.
What the Pro-Life community is doing (successfully) is fostering MORAL incremental change (which was the REAL first step in getting rid of slavery.....convincing a sufficiently large number of people that slavery was morally wrong). The number of people who support abortion has decreased regularly.
I don't disagree with that at all.
What I disagree with are the following:
"We should not be distracted by the overturn of Roe. For that will return the decision to the states, some of whom will legalize abortion within their boundaries."
"We should not work for laws that prohibit abortion except for rape/incest/mother's life. For that contaminates our moral integrity."
Both the above things could be done, greatly reducing the number of abortions while the "moral incremental change" movement goes forward.
