And we can make the best, most impassioned arguments on the planet for why abortion is wrong, but THAT won’t mean a hill of beans either, if we don’t at least try something now that has a chance of succeeding: succeding to save at least some babies.

But, it doesn't.

And again, you won't convince anybody by giving up the only arguments there are against abortion. It's a mirage.

Who said anything about “giving up” anything? That’s how you view it maybe but that doesn’t make it necessarily so.

If I make all the wondrous arguments against abortion but don’t actually DO anything to stop as many as I can NOW, then in fact I’m giving up my best “weapons”. Why? Because again, words don’t mean anything if they aren’t grounded in something real.

Why should anyone take anyone’s arguments against abortion, much less the best one which is that it kills a BABY, if I’m not willing to do something to stop such slaughter now, even if only peace meal?

Anyone could easily (and rightfully) say, “Well I guess you don’t really believe it’s killing a baby, after all you’re not trying anything that could stop at least some of the things you call babies being killed. If I believed they were babies being killed I’d do everything I could to save as many of them as I could, NOW. So I don’t believe you when you claim it’s a baby”.

And they would be right.
