Most Americans believe abortion (not right in principle) is a necessary evil in very rare circumstances.

That said, I do not support support abortion on demand or the notion it ought to be freely available.

Its wrong and if we’re going to have a culture of life in our country, we must make getting an abortion difficult to procure.

The Left argues restrictions on gun ownership are justified to save lives. By the same measure, abortion should not be an absolute right - our unborn children have a fundamental right to live.

Let’s make a culture of life a reality.

Most Americans believe that abortion is icky, but they are not ipso facto pro-life. They think, as I think Ellen Goodman once put it, that abortion should only be available in four instances: rape, incest, the life of the mother, and when I need one.

Short of a revolutionary overthrow of the government, the only way to recriminalize abortion is to put pro-life Justices on the Supreme Court. I trust Cruz to do this more than I trust Trump, but in reality I trust neither, because the only truly pro-life SCOTUS candidates would be people who could never get the consent of the Senate (Mark Levin, Jay Sekulow, etc.).

I agree, but making abortion difficult to procure will not create (recreate) a culture of life.

To do that we have to change culture itself.
