Much as I would love to see abortion outlawed altogether in the US, I think the German plan is the best we could ever hope for. It is possible we could convince people that babies at 12 weeks are formed enough that it would be barbaric to kill them after that, with the exception being if the LIFE of the mother were in danger.
[formed enough that it would be barbaric to kill them after that,}
And there are Germans who would say that the pro-life crowd in the USA is actually prolonging the slaughter of the more developed fetuses in their hopeless battle to stop all abortions from the moment of conception on. In the USA, there is an 'all-or-nothing' atmosphere that has the liberals insanely demanding that abortion needs to be allowed right up to the moment of birth.
I agree.
