Politicis does not dictate morality. I am all in favor of any law reducing abortions, but that does not mean that I think it is okay for some abortions to be legal.

Sure, but you have to accept the political reality that, barring some form of theocratic takeover of the country, an outright ban on abortion in this country is highly unlikely. A ban on contraception is even more of a pipe dream.

Even if Roe v. Wade were to be overturned, that would just mean that the individual states would decide the legality of abortion. Other than a few places like Utah, I doubt that pro-life political forces would be able to do any better than 2nd and 3rd trimester bans on abortion.

We could always change hearts and minds, too. Instead of imagining some "Theocratic takeover."

We get the laws we want, more or less, in our country. None of us expect to outlaw anything until hearts and minds are changed.
