There are a lot of viewpoints that have been expressed here, but it can be summarized best by saying that there is no reason why, when ending a pregnancy early for the health of the mother, that the baby/fetus shouldn't be given every opportunity to live. Killing the baby for the sake of convenience is horrendous.

Further, while the PBA legislation is not as strong as many would like it to be, it was designed to pass the Supreme Court criteria for their interpretation of Constitutionality. Anything stronger would likely die in the Supreme Court and thereby serve no useful purpose. Should there be stronger legislation? Absolutely, but let's take what we can get and then ask for more. The job isn't over with this bill.

It is also important to reiterate the importance of changing the hearts and minds of the general population.

Great summary, thanks for posting.

There will come times, and it appears this is one of them, that incrementalism is the preferred approach, or the best we've got for the time being. Incrementalism works best when we keep our eyes on the next step.

However, there will come other times when the best approach will be to take the fight for the unborn into the teeth of their enemies. Those fights will be best fought when our arguments are steeled from within.

I agree with your conclusion. PBA is a good first step, let's get this one in the bag by supporting it and move on to the next. Wars aren't usually won with one battle, let's take the victory and prepare for the next.
