Saber, you wrote, "This is one of those questions we won't be able to answer unless we attempt the action. Incrementalism is fine, at times, but there are also times to strike boldly. It's unwise to overrely on one tactic or the other." We have a winner in the 'reasoning it out' category! Good post, Saber! This bill is the incrementalism that leads directly to a bill banning all abortion where the prenatal little one is able to live outside the womb ... viable (now at 20 weeks in 35 to 40 % of the cases; and this will change dramatically once the Japanese artificial womb is tried with human babies ... it has kept a goat fetus alive for seventeen weeks, so far).

The attitude of the nation, the numbers in the Senate and House with a Republican in the WHite House, and a different complexion in the SCOTUS, all are vital aspects in rolling back three+ decades of death on demand reality. Every time a case hits the news that focuses upon the LIFE of the little ones (like Connor Peterson), the tide changes ever so slightly. It will not be long before a wave will be poised to wash the liberal socialist approach to death on demand right out of our national reality ... the insidiousness of liberal societal engineering is gradually coming clear to Americans as the harvest of dead relatives becomes more exposed.

If there is sufficient good left in America, abortion slaughter on demand will come to an end, albeit an incremental end. The next goal is a ban on all killing of viable little ones.

Like I said, I'm OK with incrementalism when that's the best available course, and also when it's genuine, and not a lipstick job on what's really incremental retreat. Republicans buy into the latter trap far too often.

But also we need to remember that there are times when it's best to get into a slugfest, with the full determination to win, and crush our opponents.

Their are many arts in political war.

I don't question her views/feeling of pro-life .. I am sure she is. I just don't agree with the all or nothing
