The honest truth is, we've failed those 50 million babies because we've compromised our position on abortion by allowing the issue to become a third rail issue all these years. Fifty million lives later and it suddenly becomes vitally important.
50 million lives that might well have been saved if we hadn't allowed it to become so politicized. It's an issue that is only used to elicite campaign money. Nobody has even attempted to do anything about it for over 30 years because, very simply, it's a cash cow.
