Yet they continue to have a gigantic influence on the debate. They won't go away.I thought the abortion debate was long over with.
The only way the pro-life crowd can win is t start an amendment that bans abortions. Anything else is an attempt to change public opinion.
Oh, and these 'little' laws that try to make getting an abortion more difficult, they are just lawsuits waiting to happen. In the meanwhile, people will go somewhere else to have an abortion.
The pro-lifers are on the losing end of public policy. Try as you might, but the end result is highly predictable. People will:
1)Ridicule you: because you keep asserting your beliefs into other people lives
2)Distrust you: because you keep using the same asinine and disgusting tactics to coerce people towards your belief.

3)Pity you: The Pro-life movement has nowhere to go. It has no new approach to the issue. It accomplish very little. It has turned into a desperate collection of rabblerousers with very poor leadership.
Hence, the pro-life movement is a dysfunctional mass of votes that is cast to any politician that claims to agree with them. Even if they know that politician can't help.
