A culture war is something very different from a WWII or a civil war.

Conservatives have been steadily losing the culture wars for decades. In order to understand this its helpful to understand that there are no culture wars in europe.

why not?

the liberals have won.

In order for conservatives to win — they first have to stop losing. that hasn’t really happened yet. I think that it will.

No matter what happens the whole “war” will take place over decades and centuries.

We started winning the abortion war 20 years ago. Not at the Supreme Court level, but where it counts, in popular attitudes. Now our population is the highest it's been, but the total number of abortions has been steadily declining. The number of facilities where abortions are performed goes down every year. In public discourse now, everyone in office denies being in favor of abortion per se. That certainly wasn't the case in the 1970s.

You could say that the pro-aborts renaming themselves "pro-choice" seemed clever at the time, but hasn't worked long-term. As was the case before Roe, "abortion" is essentially a cuss word that no one wants to hear or utter. Abortion itself is slowly retreating back to the shadows, where it came from.

Once a society's attitude toward life and its beginning changes, all other institutions begin to change in the same direction, because they are all built on that attitude.
