Abortion is legal, safe, available and inexpensive in all 50 States of the Union. The Supreme Court, conservative as it may be, does not have the overturning of Roe vs Wade on its agenda. An overwhelming majority of Americans favor safe, legal abortion, whether or not they consider themselves personally to be "pro life". There is no movement to effectively ban abortion anywhere locally. There is no movement to amend the Constitution against abortion. There is no organized pro abortion movement in this country to fight anti choice activists. There is no need.
The anti abortion movement contents itself with whipping each other into a frenzy. They demand that people not sharing their beliefs on abortion, be ejected from the churches they attend and denied the Sacraments. They skulk in the bushes outside abortion clinics, popping up to terrorize young patrons on their way in or out, screaming epithets and calling down the wrath of God. They murder abortion providing doctors when they can.
Anti abortion organizations crow about the progress that they have made when dictatorial governments around the World unilaterally choose to ban the procedure, while every democratic nation, religiously devout or not, that votes on the issue, chooses to legalize, without exception.
Anti abortion activists are proud to be following the will of an angry and vengeful Jay-Ho-Vah but he's not the God that the rest of us have. Shine on, true believers. Your reward awaits in Heaven above. Hal-EE-Lou-Yah!
The Republican party in this country, has inextricably allied itself with the fundamentalist Christian, anti-choice, anti contraception, pro virginity until Christian, heterosexual marriage movement. OK by me. I'm smilin'.
