I have said for decades that the fundraising and constant outrage wings of both the prochoice and prolife sides are exaggerating what the realistic outcomes are. I have maintained that things would only change marginally, around issues like parental consent or forbidding of partial birth abortion. Or on the other side, efforts to enshrine abortion permission in somewhat stronger legislative language, rather than extending forward past birth who could be killed.
I was wrong about both.
I don't think you were wrong. Yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat I see happening is both sides asking for a whole pie with whipped cream and cherries on top and then settling for a PB&J with a glass of milk.
