I have a different set of reasons why "pro-life" loses at the polls.

1. At the national level, the movement is run by women who see this as a religious crusade instead of a political/legal process. They are also completely useless at doing anything other than giving speeches.

2. The author's point about the 14th Amendment is a waste of time, as the word "born" in that amendment makes the pro-life agenda espoused here impossible in the absence of a constitutional amendment.

3. Pro-lifers are afraid to do the dirty work that may offer the most promise for getting legalized abortion eliminated ... namely, by getting a message out that abortion is a wonderful thing -- and should be promoted/encouraged/funded -- as a method to reduce the population of Democrats in America. Promote the abortion of Democrats as an investment in the future of America, and see if the conversation changes. I'll bet it does.

4. The national pro-life movement is currently in the process of a massive "bait & switch" campaign that completely destroys its credibility. After working for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade on the constitutional grounds that abortion is NOT a Federal matter, they are now pushing for a Federal abortion ban. Why the hell anyone in that movement thought this was a good idea is beyond me.
