Pushing for one does not mean forestalling on the other. It means doing what you can to stop the slaughter. If you know a full out ban on all abortions will be rejected it does not mean you stop arguing for a ban on some or on additional restrictions. All the while making it a point to try and move public opinion to pro life beliefs. You accomplish what you can while putting the means in place to accomplish what you must.

Should we not push for example requiring ultra sounds because it does not call for a full ban on abortion?

We are in a battle each bit of ground we gain means the enemy must yield. But just like in all wars there is important work done away from the battlefield. This is mainly getting those who are on the sidelines to truly understand why abortion is wrong so that they join the battle. The battle is not weakened because some work behind the frontlines.

Also I am curious how would you argue to someone who believes that abortion is about the right to choose as guaranteed in the Constitution? What would be your springboard for challenging this belief? How would you do so without appeal to religion?

Ask an atheist how he/she knows right from wrong without religious convictions. Some things are a moral given. Murder is wrong. But no one in the media or academia or on the left talks about abortion in those terms. Change the language BACK to what it actually is. Murder versus life.
Is it wrong to murder a three year old child? no one except a certifiable lunatic would answer no. The terms have got to be stark and real and serious. A fetus is a child...not a flea.
There are other ways because I have done it. time constraints right now, but I’ll be back.
