Expect no compromise from anti-abortion right
By Froma Harrop / Creators.com
Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was sold as a sensible and mollifying approach to the abortion controversy. It would let each state ban or codify a right to abortion in accordance with local culture.
This assumed that the end of a constitutional right to abortion was the victory after which “pro-life” conservatives could go home. Not so. Anti-abortion activists clearly see Roe’s fall as but one step in a longer journey to outlaw abortion outright.
And why wouldn’t they? If you believe that the cell cluster created at conception has the same rights as a 1-year-old, how could you be content letting abortion remain available in California and Massachusetts? You wouldn’t be if you really held that abortion is murder.
That’s why anti-abortion groups are trying to prohibit distribution of abortion pills by mail. But remove the mail, and you still have the pills. Take away the abortion pills, which is being tried, and then you can go after contraception.
