"But those hearts will harden again if we have a staunch conservative in the WH who talks about getting rid of Roe v. Wade."

The way traditionally pro-life people's hearts were hardened when Roe became law? Making abortion legal also made it more morally acceptable to a large percentage of the population many of whom had previously been opposed to it. When something is legalized it also becomes more moral in the eyes of society. Overtime, generations of young who become exposed to such immorality also see it as moral, and thus there is a growth in the percentage of people in the U.S. population who now see abortion as moral compared with the day Roe became law.

The overturning of Roe will mean the issue will be returned to the states. Some states will keep it legal, others will not. But a decrease in the laws allowing abortion will effect an increase in the numbers of people who again believe it is morally wrong.

Should we have kept slavery legal because making it illegal would harden the hearts of some slave owners?

I heard you argument from Liberals back in college, and made similar arguments against it. It is as faulty and illogical now as it was then.

It's a shame you haven't kept up with the success that states are having with these laws. Far more success than the federal government has had since Reagan.

But hey, you have an agenda to prove so just pretend that I'm making a liberal argument. Carry on.
