A new Time magazine cover story contends that pro-life advocates have been "winning the abortion war" through legislative successes, changes in public opinion and new ultrasound technology that shows the unborn baby.
"Pro-choice activists have been outflanked by their prolife counterparts, who have successfully lobbied for state-based regulations that limit access," writer Katie Pickert said on the Time website Jan. 3. "The pro-life cause has been winning the abortion war, in part, because it has pursued an organized and well-executed strategy. But public opinion is also increasingly on their side."
Pickert made her case in the Jan. 14 Time cover story "What Choice?" The magazine cover says: "40 years ago, abortion rights activists won an epic victory with Roe v. Wade. They've been losing ever since."
"In many parts of the country today, obtaining an abortion is more difficult than at any point since the 1970s," Pickert said.
