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.

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.

I suppose. However, I don't see changing hearts and minds enough to pull off a ban on abortion. even a lot of conservatives (me included) could live with some type of compromise that limits how late in pregnancy abortions are allowed.

As for a ban on contraception? That has no appeal outside of a very narrow fringe group.

None of us expect to outlaw anything until hearts and minds are changed. That is a lovely way of putting it. Absolutely not sarcasm!
