"The sad fact is that, two hundred or three hundred years from now, free peoples will look back on us with the same disgust and incomprehension that we look back on slaveholders with. Abortion is the slavery of the twenty-first century, and we will be remembered in history for what we do to oppose it."

I think this is wishful thinking, Chuck. Society is far too pragmatic to morally evolve in this manner [IMHO].

True. The day medical technology made abortion (at least in thr 1st trimester) statistically safer than childbirth was the day it became tolerable to most people. Back in the old days, when the only methods available to induce abortion were dirty and dangerous, it was easy to be against it.
