Could it be that deep down people feel the unborn is something different than the born?
In my opinion if you want to eliminate abortion then you are going to have to make people really believe that there is no difference between the unborn and the born. You are going to have to start giving names as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. You are going to have to start holding burial services for unborns. So here's the problem, Christians want everyone to act like unborns are people when it comes to abortion but they haven't been acting like unborns are people in any way for 2000 years and have only actually been equating abortion to murder for maybe the last 100 years.

Heard of it many times, and have a couple friends who did name the child and have a service for the child after miscarriage.
Our society DOES equate abortion with murder - with one small caveat... it has to be a "wanted" child.
There is a difference in that the unborn child has built fewer relationships at that point in there life. This is true for the born as well. As a baby grows so does his circle of friends and influence.
