If you’re not going to fight against abortionist liberals, why are you on Free Republic?

The changes will have to be gradual with broad support including across the aisle.

Calling people names has not worked. “Carrying the fight” has not worked.

Just look at the results after 34 years. Paltry to no real change has been the rule. Even by those “pro-life” politicians who seem to get religion just before every election.

As a beginning, go across the aisle and try to make the law of the land require fetal sonograms required and available to all planning to abort their child. Then add one day of waiting before permitting the procedure. Primates visually seek out others and are reinforced and identify with others. This is why this will work. Appeal to the better angels of human nature rather than worst also underlies this principle.

People, and especially potential mothers, basically believe they are removing jello from their womb. This is a good first step and one that would likely work. it is also consistent with "Casey" SCOTUS decision.

It cannot work, if you demonize anyone who differs with your opinion; they may be your allies in gradually reducing the number of abortions. Immediately criminalizing 1,000,000 women a year (approx no abortions) is not going to happen in Congress or SCOTUS. Other than discharging emotion, trying to achieve this criminalization has no real workable goal.
