<sheepishly> sorry
I meant to say that the logic in the OP referenced article was specious.
Has not the overall trend in Western World since the Rennisance been to drift left? (i.e. decreasing power of organized religion, increasing individual liberties,increasing welfare by the state) In other words, the “center” of the right-left spectrum keeps drifting left. If this continues, and abortion is a right vs left issue, pro-lifers will only be found farther and farther out on the right edge of the bell curve of the political cultural specturm. Just like today in the US where segregationists where once mainstream, and now are a radical fringe.
It also means that in on the Straight Dope Message board in 2042, we will be arguing whether the right to create clones of ourselves falls under the “life and liberty” clause and that the 2040 Supreme Court decision on that should be overturned.
