Camosy on "The abortion politics of 2014 and beyond"

At Catholic Moral Theology, Charlie Camosy has an election-analysis post on the "abortion politics of 2014 and beyond" that is worth reading and thinking about.   Mirror of Justice is not a merely political blog, but I don't think it's out of line to report my happiness about the fact that Wendy Davis, Mark Udall, and Kay Hagen's extreme views on abortion were rejected.   And, I agree with Charlie about the abortion related "lessons" that we can take away from Tuesday's election, including the lesson that "personhood amendments" are probably not likely to be a successful or productive strategy.  It is true that these amendments' meaning and effects are often badly misrepresented by critics and this fact almost certainly helps to explain why they fail even in pro-life states.  But, the fact is, they do fail, and it is better for the pro-life movement (it seems to me) to focus on the many kinds of measures that, increasingly, are succeeding.
