The old arguments for abortion choice have largely lost much of their original persuasiveness. While a small majority of Americans still believe abortion should be legal, more and more women are electing not to make the choice to abort. The debate is shifting in the only way it really matters; within the personal morality of each individual. Some day, probably in the distant future yet, we will regard abortion as an unpleasant part of our past about which we are ashamed, much like we do slavery.

If doctors would just hand the forceps over to the mother after securing the baby's skull and explain to the mother that the popping sensation they feel when they squeeze the forceps was their baby, we could get past this embarassing time in our history a lot faster.
