Slate: Why are Americans not becoming liberal on the issue of abortion....he hints at the reason but can't say it.

 William Saletan posts in Slate his take on the public moving to the left on the issues of gay sex, gay marriage, premarital sex, birth control but not on the issue of abortion. He asks the question...why are Americans becoming more liberal on homosexuality but not on abortion?

"Polls don’t settle what’s right and wrong. But they do challenge our assumptions about the structure of beliefs. When public opinion turns toward gay marriage without abandoning fidelity and family formation, it calls into question our fear that extending marriage to same-sex couples threatens the institution. And when public opinion turns toward reproductive freedom and equal rights for women but continues to oppose abortion, it punctures our dismissal of pro-life sentiment as a vestige of right-wing sexism. Spin and soundbites won’t make the evidence go away. Sooner or later, you'll have to face it."

He stops short of saying it....but the answer is that the humanity of the preborn is not  a theory but the evidence is before our eyes. Look at the picture he posts with the article. Say it...human being. Abortion takes the life of a defenseless innocent human being.....
