Steve Aden from the Alliance Defense Fund has this interesting perspective on the failure of abortion rights groups to challenge new pro-life legislation. See http://www.lifenews.com/2011/04/26/abortion-advocates-playing-defense-legally-in-roe-v-wade-battle/ Aden concludes his article with this view:
“By ignoring a tidal wave of legal authority that insists that unborn children are valuable and worthy of legal protection, CRR and Planned Parenthood may be setting themselves up to lose the war of public support, even if they win the next battle in the courts. And because law follows public opinion, Roe cannot stand when the ground of public support for – or acquiescence in – abortion on demand has eroded away underneath it.”
