What was once thought impossible might be possible in the future.

Perhaps, however pro-choice values will gradually become more accepted over time, and the pro life movement will likely go the way of the prohibition movement in several decades.

Proof? Not all socially liberal beliefs are accepted by the mainstream over time. For instance, gun control was much more popular in the 1960s than it is now. Also, polls show that older and younger generations of voters have roughly the same positions (in terms of %) on abortion.

You have it backwards. The "pro-choice" movement will one day go the way of slavery.

The pro-life movement may dissipate then because it won't be needed anymore, just like the abolitionist movement.

[Oakvale]

They won't. The Republicans will stop nominating anti-choice candidates eventually, too, as pro-choice views become the norm and the 'pro-life' movement slowly but surely becomes irrelevant.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Never.

[The Age Wave]

Whenever I decide to run

[hcallega]

Whenever the issue gets shifted from Roe v. Wade to consistent life. Of course if someone like Kaine or Casey were nominated that would be different. But I suspect that we'll see a Hispanic Democrat who is center/center-right on abortion and more about the Culture of Life than just abortion. Just a hunch.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

They won't. The Republicans will stop nominating anti-slavery* candidates eventually, too, as pro-slavery* views become the norm and the 'abolitionist'* movement slowly but surely becomes irrelevant.

Hey, that works too. You should have been born in antebellum Dixie.

overall support for abortion hasn't changed much among Democrats in the last 20 years, while independents and esp. Republicans have tended more pro-life. 

meanwhile, voters under 30 may be slightly more pro-life than those 30-64.

When will the Democrats next nominate an anti-abortion candidate for President?

If and when the Republican and Democratic parties switch platforms.

Both parties should one day be pro-life. Abortion must go the way of slavery, with support for it having no platform in reasonable political discourse.

I agree with Libertas here.

In order for that to happen you've to (at the very least) find some way of stopping backstreet abortions from happening. Studies done in the U.K indicate that the number of abortions didn't increase by a significant amount after legalisation.

Murders and robberies and rapes all still go on. That doesn't mean we should legalize them.

That doesn't really address my point now, does it. It is highly unlikely that your views on this issue are likely to ever be those of more than a small minority, so in order for what you want to happen to actually happen, something will have to change at a more practical level.

Uh, the evidence suggests the opposite. Being pro-life is becoming the majority opinion, at least in the U.S.

Can you explain why I should accept a defeatist outlook with regard to stopping the murder of unborn children?
