Common sense, pragmatism, and smart tactics are alien concepts to them. If they weren't, partial-birth abortion would have been outlawed years ago, and likely late-term abortions as well. Maybe even surgical abortions would be history.

To be *effective*, the pro-life movement needs to go back to the drawing board.

But apparently, effectiveness isn't as important to the ones hindering real change as is the self-gratification they get screaming pious platitudes of No Compromise from their soapboxes.

There you go again. Blaming pro-lifers for the continuation of abortion.

You guys just don't learn many new tricks, do ya...

If you spent half as much time going after the people who are responsible for the vast majority of abortions, (which don't fall within your beloved 'exceptions', and which are done simply as a form of gruesome birth control) as you do chastising pro-lifers, maybe we would get somewhere.

I wonder what will happen to IVF clinics. Lots of 'abortion' going on in there. I have not been able to convince someone that a fertilized egg is just as much a child as an baby about to be born.

I once read a great book called "No Compromise". In fact, it's on my bookshelf.

Compromise is only acceptable for certain things. The compromises you seem to endorse - you can kill babies if they're only so old, you can kill babies if they're the result of incest, you can kill babies if their father is a rapist - are not acceptable. Killing the unborn, in any case when the mother will not die without it, is murder. You can't compromise on murder.
