I'm a pragmatic idealist. We cannot outlaw abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger right away, but we CAN start working at the edges, and building the consensus to reach that point now.
Why not work the edges? What is wrong with getting small chunks?
Don't kid yourself.
If you believe in the alchemy of pragmatism you're a utopian, not an idealist.
Because -- to quote the GOP -- "ABORTION is VITAL to the solution" of population control at home and abroad.
Get it straight. The "I'm personally opposed, BUT ... " party is the ARCHITECT of our successful population control strategy. No nation has ever had a successfuly population control strategy without abortion.
Abortion is a GOP policy.
