Of public opinion in a democracy, Lincoln famously said, “With it, nothing can fail; against it,
nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statues, or pronounces judicial decisions.” As long as public opinion remains mixed on abortion, both a national ban or a national codification are impossible to imagine anytime soon. Pro-lifers may soon have the chance to put Lincoln’s adage to the test.
