3. I agree with you in theory, however

before this can happen, elective pregnancy termination must no longer be demonized. It is the very demonization of the procedure that is the core of the argument.

Of course, the above would require anti-choicers to accept the fact that a zygote is not a fetus is not a baby. I had a post on DU a few weeks ago where I likened that specious argument to a dispute in a diner: "I ordered fried chicken, what the hell are these fried eggs here?"

As long as superstition obscures the facts on elective pregnancy termination, the pro-choice movement will not be seen as pro-"life".

FWIW
