Comment: This is especially important when you factor in that abortion laws are not likely to change anytime soon, and even if they do, they probably will not change the practice of abortion—there will either be a black market for abortion or people will simply go to states/countries where it is legal.  Over the past 40 years, there were long periods with extensive Republican control of the three branches of government and very little changed in regards to abortion laws.  Either they don’t really intend to do anything substantial about abortion laws or there isn’t much they can do.  I suspect they don’t have the will to do it—they just want those pro-life dollars and votes and enjoy the fact that they don’t have to do anything to earn those votes!  Besides, changing the laws without changing the hearts and minds of the population is not likely to be successful and would only set the movement back in the long run.
