And please don't trot out the tired logic of "accommodating" to win so you can slooooooooowly implement your "real" agenda.

How many decades has this losing battle been going on? ROE Vs Wade was soooo long ago, I forgot.

Roe vs Wade was 35 years ago +, so what, the war against slavery ran from the 1760's to the 1860's, about a hundred years. The fight against Jim Crow laws, and racial segregation lasted from 1865 until the 1970's, well over a hundred years. After the fight against slavery had been going on for 70 years, former President John Quincy Adams wasn't allowed to bring up petitions against slavery on the floor of the House.

By the standards of each of these campaigns (as well as the 100 year plus effort for Woman's Suffrage), the Pro-Life position is doing well. Well you and 86_X42 and SentryoverAmerica, may want to play King Denethor on this issue, but I believe that the path of Faramir is more honorable. (LOTR references for those not it the know).

And it's losing because some have forgotten how to fight. The fact that it's been so long and this murder is still legal is a shame, not a cause for acceptance.
