But in the future, I suspect that abortion, like pornography, will become a target of ever greater opprobrium. Politicians in particular will condemn the practices wholeheartedly. And that’s because, thanks to the internet and RU-486-type medications, everyone will know that expressing opposition to pornography and abortion will have almost no practical consequence to the supply of these services. Thus, politicians will be free to pander to opponents of abortion and pornography, while incurring no penalty from the large swaths of their constituents that consume these services.
