Abortion lobbyists are hoping for a major backlash in their favor. They shouldn't count on it. secularprolife.org/2021/12/a-mode…
I predict that five years from now, American opinion on abortion and Roe v. Wade will have moved in a strongly pro-life direction, as evidenced by reputable polls.
I am not basing this prediction on a grand ethical revolution, as much as I would like to see that happen. Nor am I basing it on an increase in personal experiences with life-saving laws, although that may be a factor.
No, the reasons for my prediction are simple: (1) people like to be on the winning team, and, just as important, (2) most people don’t like to think about abortion any more than they absolutely have to.
The abortion industry has benefited from these psychological realities for the past 48 years, as many Americans have considered “pro-choice” to be the default position. But once Roe is overturned, Dobbs will become the new default and the dynamics will flip in favor of life.
