Abortion persists in this country because it is masked and hidden and ignored. Even its most ardent supporters rarely use the term. Child-killing is called choice, pro-abortion marches are renamed for "women's freedom", and every effort is made to ensure that the procedure itself is never debated. Abortion is legal in America not because of legislation, but because of judicial decree, because it slithered through the back door. It has never had to stand the test of full-disclosure, nor could it.
