This is the case with the one about "opposing contraceptive and comprehensive sex education", and maybe some of the others. Many of these people are also firm believers in the rule of law. That's why they believe that acting persuasively through existing structures (eg. lobbying, protesting) is better than committing even more murders. Many of these policies are formulated on a "What battles can we win now, as part of a larger war against abortion". That's where the following are relevant: 1. No legal consequences against the mother. 2. Exceptions for rape and incest 3. Banning particular procedures But thank you for reminding us to focus on the big picture. Hopefully I've helped to make sense of some of the strangeness that surrounds the pro-life movement.
