I believe that when legal abortion is finally gone from the United States, it will be as a result on incremental victories.

At that time, those who sat on the sidelines and rejected every incremental step will be correctly seen to be complicit in the deaths of many of the unborn.

In addition to the question of whether your incremental strategy sacrifices the critically-important principles upon which every decent moral, constitutional and legal argument against abortion rests, one must also ask which direction you are moving incrementally. Even Blackmun, who had no law-making power, admitted that if the child in the womb is a person, OF COURSE they are protected by the explicit provisions of our Constitution.

"The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a 'person' within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment."

-- Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe vs. Wade, 1973

But when you codify the killing of what you have already identified, correctly, as a person, you are incrementally moving two giant steps further towards utter barbarism, not towards the stopping of the slaughter.

I think so to. Part of the process is educating people that their moral view is incorrect.
