The absolutist positions on abortion are the easiest to defend logically. The first trimester approach is a slippery slope and there is no other way to justify it other than to say- it is a compromise that many people can accept.

However, since the liberalization of abortion laws to the point of abortion on demand is a key component of such permissiveness, it is an excellent place to begin to draw some kind of line. Liberalization of abortion laws is an effect of a fundamental change in the zeitgeist, not a cause. Reversing the effects - or trying to - will not reverse the cause; the genie won't go back in the bottle. I hope, though, that you don't think abortion started in the '60's. The liberalized abortion laws were less a matter of changing reality than of acknowledging it.
