An abortion-free society is not going to arrive until most of us really want it. But what most of America really wants today is a mostly abortion-free society.
Therefore, we should move as quickly as possible to a mostly abortion-free society and work for as long as it takes to change America's "wants" regarding the remainder of abortions.

I agree with this sentiment, and will take any help for the unborn we can get.
I use the analogy of slavery. I don’t believe it should be legal to own another person, period.
Still, I’d push for laws that forbid killing someone you ‘own,’ whipping people you ‘own,’ selling off children from parents you ‘own,’ or that required days off and good food and what have you. Of course that is an improvement.
But I would never go along with the idea that it’s ok to have a little bit of slavery. It isn’t ok until it is all totally illegal.
Abortion, similar. I’ll take what progress we can make, but I will never behave or speak as though it’s ok to just kill the handicapped ones, or the ones who haven’t implanted yet, or the ones whose fathers are rapists, or whatever.
