I haven't read his stuff, but is he saying, "I'll accept banning 10% of abortions now because that's all I can get at the moment, but I want 100% banned in the future and will work towards that." That's consistent and acceptable (under his beliefs), but I haven't read his stuff.

The problem is you can't reconcile that with the whole "it's murder" thing. Society doesn't go halfsies on murder.

I loathe KW and his views, but it does seem coherent to take into account the challenge inherent in shifting public opinion to the point at which everyone sees abortion as a heinous form of murder.

I mean it involves willfully ignoring generational shifts towards support for abortion but I guess that kind of delusion is nothing new

I am angry. It is legal. It is supported by the majority. Everywhere the right is infringed on and whittled down by people with fringe ideas. Generating controversy sells papers. But contoversy does not mean the idea is worthy. A loud voice is not a worthy voice.

Because ending abortion or "saving lives" isn't the goal. The goal is to punish women for having sex.

Many fetuses are aborted - or children are murdered, every year. He would welcome a means to save even 10%. That’s entirely coherent.

He wants to hang women who get abortions, he just thinks that's the long term goal, and wants to bank short term gains in the meantime.
