Most Americans believe that abortion is icky, but they are not ipso facto pro-life. They think, as I think Ellen Goodman once put it, that abortion should only be available in four instances: rape, incest, the life of the mother, and when I need one.
Short of a revolutionary overthrow of the government, the only way to recriminalize abortion is to put pro-life Justices on the Supreme Court. I trust Cruz to do this more than I trust Trump, but in reality I trust neither, because the only truly pro-life SCOTUS candidates would be people who could never get the consent of the Senate (Mark Levin, Jay Sekulow, etc.).
Child murder is "icky"??? Wow.
