Terry claims that the PBA ban may not save even one life. He seems to believe that people will just abort the children earlier and/or the abortionists will find another way to kill late-term babies.

Terry appears to be from the all-or-nothing camp. The facts are that we cannot outlaw all abortion yet, so we've taken one step in the right direction. The attention that PBA has gotten lately has probably made some "pro-choicers" think, and some to even change their minds. Americans don't want to kill babies. They justify abortion by beleiving that a fetus is just a clump of cells. The graphic and ugly details of PBA are going to shock some people into waking up on the abortion issue. At some later time we can take another step in the right direction. I'd rather make some progress than none at all, which is what Terry seems to advocate.

Ah back to political strategy. That is entirely a different matter, and one in which I think you have the winning case.
