“But my problem is more with the purist hardliners. They’re irrational. They ignore arguments comparing the incremental approach, with which I agree – saving babies when we can until we can save them all – to the Underground Railroad or the Oscar Schindlers and Corrie ten Booms of the Holocaust.
This debate isn’t even comparable to “Sophie’s Choice,” being forced to choose which children live or die. All children slated for abortion are going to die. But if given the opportunity, do we not rescue any of them? Purists say no, not unless we can rescue all of them.”

The pro-life movement wanted an absolute ban on abortion or nothing. Thanks to this short-sighted approach, the Democrats are set to pass FOCA next year, which will wipe out every pro-life law on the books in the country. And the pro-life movement will get what it wanted!

A very interesting article. And it proves the point that the Pro-life movement is much more of a purist, religious movement than a practical political one.
It’s about feeling good about yourself more than really being able to make abortion illegal, which is not going to happen.

I support saving as many babies as we can where we can. Sometimes it may mean little steps and other times it may mean larger ones. But it is clear there are few, if any places in the country, where a pro-life bill can be passed, without the three exceptions.
An excellent, thoughtful article by Jill Stanek.
