Pro-Life Dems make a Splash!

Pro-Life Dems make a Splash! by MSW.  MGB: Adequate socials services are just part of the mix.  We need to argue for adequate incomes and most especially, both Catholic pro-life and Catholic pro-choice politicians need to be honest about the prospects of the various methods set out to ban abortion - and above all stress that there is no "abortion law" that allows it so much as a denial of power to state governments to do anything in the first trimester, and little in the first half of the second and a lot in the third (when abortions are absolutely rare anyway).  Most of all, they should be clear that Roe not only won't be overturned, it should not be - that a human life amendment will never be ratified (much less submitted to the states) and that anything a human life amendment can do, the Congress could do to extend legal recognition to the unborn (only if that is struck down is an amendment necessary).  Most especially, the reason there is no such law is not the pro-choice Democrats, or even the pro-life Democrats, but the National Right to Life Committee - who would lose too much in political power if such a law were passed - and could never get their membership to be fine with the inherent compromises necessary to to equal protection.  For those that disagree with me, show me the bill that deals with the problems of miscarriage and criminality without doing violence to equal protection.
