First, it's not going to happen. Hate to burst your bubble but it's an impossible fight in today's world. Second, global statistics show that banning abortion does little to reduce the abortion rates. Compare Peru, who had some of the strictest laws against abortion, to Belgium, a prochoice liberalized nation. Muslim countries have banned most forms of abortion but maternal morbidity is strikingly high. Abortion's legality does little to effect abortion's actual occurrence. Belgium has found sound social policies aimed at reducing the abortion rates to be very successful, even though abortion is legal in their country. So Belgium now boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, though it's legal.
I firmly believe that God is not pleased that we spend all our time, effort, and money on merely banning abortion when global data indicates that it has little effect on abortion's actual occurrence. God wants less abortion. Sadly....Pro-Choice Belgium has successfully achieved this while we clamor around like nutcases trying to ban abortion....when no court in the land is going to reverse abortion decisions.
The issue isn't abortion's legality....the issue is how does a society reduce abortion's occurrence? We could learn a lot from Belgium. But again, conservatives will continue to reject this and pander for political points.... while children continue to die.
