"I've often wondered what would have happened if the pro-life movement had invested HALF of the time and money into advertising and education campaigns that they have into political efforts"

Nicely said, [golf clap], I really don't see Roe V Wade ever being overturned and even if it is abortion will remain legal in most states. If we really want to do something about abortion as much time, energy and money need to go to preventing abortion as trying to change legislation.

And by prevent abortion I mean more than standing outside clinics handing out religous tracts and yelling murderer to women entering.

Not to mention, the federal government has no right to tell states they can't allow abortion, just as they have no right to tell them they have to allow it.

Bullseye!

I think, originally, the pro-life movement thought changing legislation would be relatively easy and would be the end all - be all. So, of course, that is where they devoted their time and finances. The current pro-life movement know no other way and keep trying to same old strategies.

And by prevent abortion I mean more than standing outside clinics handing out religous tracts and yelling murderer to women entering.

I've never understood that strategy. You attract more flies with honey. But, some of them have a hard time with charm, that's for sure.
