Just to clarify for those of you who don't understand, opposing granting legal statud to "life of the mother" abortions doesn't mean that you want doctors prosecuted for good-faith abortions necessary to prevent the mother's death. It just means that you don't want there to be a legal loophole that unscrupulous abortionists take advantage of. A more thorough explanation is here.
Along with the falling abortion rate, this is a good sign. It means only about a quarter of Americans approve of the status quo. But we still have a long way to go. The goal isn't to do with abortion what prohibition did with alcohol -- drive it underground. The goal is to do what the abolitionsists did with slavery -- make it unthinkable.
We're getting there.
