In a way, you're right...the pro-life side needs visible protagonists who are intimately involved in particular situations: namely, the fathers of the babies.

So long as pro-lifers ignore fathers who don't want their babies aborted, the movement will lack both a visible protagonist and a necessary sense of personal connection to particular, specific situations.

In a sense, I agree, but I think winning fathers the "right" to a paper abortion is much more politically feasible. The net effect would be to make women much more cautious again...the original dynamic. If it weren't for pro-life women not wanting to risk the preferential legal position of women in general, pro-lifers teamed with pro-choice men could finally punch a real hole in the Roe v. Wade doctrine.
