Human behavior. When Dems de-segregated the southern religious Dems left the party and Dems then pushed abortion and lost more.

We could drop gun control and abortion and focus on healthcare and birth control funding. It's not like anyone LIKES abortion. It's a hard stance to sell and always will be. Abortion as birth control is not likely to be something we look back through the ages and still see as uncivil behavior. Phase out abortion and provide the most advanced birth control system in the world tie that all into public healthcare. Instead of public healthcare being a way for people to get government abortions. It's the solution to the abortion 'problem'. I know most of you hate it, but it would probably work and we'd save more lives.

I'm confident in 100 years we won't still be using abortion as birth control anyway. I would never get rid of it for medical necessity or rape though.

It won't be long until we have far better means of birth control and investments would speed that up dramatically. Most of the birth control kind of sucks so I can see why many woman don't want to be on it. Who wants to put themselves on hormone therapy just because guys won't or can't use condoms properly?
