What does the "pro-life" movement do now?

[TJ in Oregon]

The pro-life movement will do as it has always done: try to support pro-life candidates over pro-choice ones, try to place any regulations on abortion we can think of, engage in protests, etc.

Contrary to belief on this site, the majority of Americans weren't even aware Mississippi was voting on a Personhood Ammendment. This failing is the status quo rather than something that will forever change the public opinion on the topic. Even if it had passed, it would have been entirely symbolic since the courts would have immediately placed an injunction on it and it would have been struck down rather quickly. This happening doesn't change a thing.

On the other hand, it should serve as a reminder to the pro-life crowd that this country will not support protections that people feel will cause an inconvenience to themselves personally. Possibly banning birth control would be too far a step it seems even in Mississippi and isn't happening any time soon.

If someone opposes abortion truly believing it to be murder, a minor setback like this isn't going to change anything. It's something that as long some minority still believes in, it cannot ever be over.
