Fred has looked at the HLA and FMA and while he supports the intent, he realizes that they will never go anywhere. How long has the HLA been discussed with no definitive action? He very simply sees his way as a way to “git er dun.” Like Reagan, who believed in working toward a goal and taking what he could get, then working toward the rest, Fred can actually see positive steps toward the goal being made incrementally by taking it to the citizens of each state. He has the belief that the people will make the right decision because of advances in science and medicine that make it less likely for pro-choicers to see their desires as ethically viable.
