I think you misunderstand me.

If there were a referendum in my state tomorrow defining abortion at any moment after conception as murder, and making no exceptions whatever, I would vote for it.

So you do not need to convince me.

But I (unlike you??) know that referendum would lose. Probably by at least two to one, maybe more.

Likewise, any candidate who openly says "I'll ban all abortion by executive action, damn the courts" will lose, certainly by a bigger margin still.

And babies will go on dying until the majority of voters sees it your way, but then, you've already made it abundantly clear that this is not as much a problem to you as is the taint of apparent compromise.

You’re never going to convince anyone to a position you will not assert, AND stand for consistently in your political and policy actions.

That’s the primary practical problem with the incrementalist, compromised approach that has been taken for forty years. It has no moral, constitutional, legal, or political authority, because right up front it abandons the only moral, constitutional, legal, and political argument against the practice of human abortion, which is equal protection for the unalienable rights of all, starting with the supreme right, the right to live.
