Who do you think we are, Joe Biden? :~)

Dont you remember what happened with the Texas sodomy law when it got to the SCOTUS?

IMHO, what we need is a better legal strategy. The pro-abortion crowd has argued the case based on privacy laws and what they 'do with their own body'.

From a scientific basis, a baby, even not born, is a unique individual with unique DNA, and thus, not just a growth on someone's body.
The legal arguments need to move this to a civil rights issue. Does a child have a civil right to live? Can one person 'own' another person's life? When does one's civil right to privacy interfere with another's civil right to live?

Although correct in it's meaning, we've been fighting this on a 'moral' ground. Morality unfortunately doesn't win court cases.

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck and it waddles like a duck, than it is a duck! The political pubs support abortion also, as they do Kelo and activist judges.
America has become despotic and only the victims(useful idiots, as Stalin named them) don't know, near as I can tell. You shall know them by their fruits is more to it.

Maybe it is because there are too many like the one whose car I see on the local CC parking lot during Mass

The "Pro-Life" movement doesn't really want to end abortion. As long as abortion is legal the donations keep coming. "Pro-Life" politicians continue to get elected by talking tough about abortion but never really doing anything of substance. Again, that keeps the money rolling in.

Abortion will continue as long as well meaning Christians continue to put their trust in men. Trusting in politicians and judges will never end abortion.

God would end abortion in this country tommorrow if his people would repent from their trust in men and seek his face!

Good article. I used to consider myself very conservative until I stumbled upon this site. Boy, did you guys ever prove me wrong. I noticed this site has very conservative members but many members don't see abortion as their number one issue. I've seen over and over again people say they consider the gay marriage, immigration, or taxes as their number one issues.
I would trade everything for a ban on abortion. I would even vote for a Democrat for a ban on abortion.

How people on this site can possibly justify spending time hours protesting gay marriage, or immigration, or even taxes but couldn't that time be better spent volunteering at for the pro-life agency. A child's life is worth a million times more than a ban on gay marriage. If we're going to blame anyone for abortion continuing, we should look at ourselves first and examine what we could do.

This may just be my background, my family is full of pro-life democrats who often feel left alienated from the more conservative views of the main anti-abortion groups.

"How do you imagine such a sign is received by the animal rights lobby, among whom there are also many pro-lifers? Doesn't being “pro-life” mean supporting good stewardship of our world? Why shouldn't the pro-life movement be pro-environment?"

The "author" is either disingenuous or completely naive. The vast majority of "animal-rights" and "pro-environment" types believe that the human race is a cancer on the face of the planet, and the more that are killed off (except for themselves, of course), the better.
