The pro life movement has no vision and never has had one (I was actually involved in my youth). Its leadership never understood its own era. All movements need inspiration to carry the difficult work forward. In societies that are evolving socially, like ours has been since the '60s, this comes in the form of expansive ideas like "brown people are just like me," or "gay couples are loving, just like us." With the abortion issue, no one was able to craft an idea like that. The outrage on behalf of unborn life had no audience. Sympathy, rightly so, lay solely with women because people could picture her and other women understood the experience. This doesn't mean human life has no value, only that the message failed. The best the movement could do right now would be to reduce abortions. Imprisonment of women who got abortions will only result in a backlash. Contraception is as much everyone's right as antibiotics. The clerics don't understand pregnancy.
