To those who would like abortion to remain legal, he's a zealot who wants the government to force his views on others.Schenck himself says he's addressing the greatest moral issue of our time.Thirty-five years have passed since the Supreme Court legalized abortion nationwide Jan. 22, 1973, in Roe v. Wade.While abortion remains one of the country's most polarizing issues, the strategy of some activists, such as Schenck, has changed since the days of abortion-clinic sit-ins and blockades of the 1980s and...
