They won't.

What was once thought impossible might be possible in the future.

Perhaps, however pro-choice values will gradually become more accepted over time, and the pro life movement will likely go the way of the prohibition movement in several decades.

Proof? Not all socially liberal beliefs are accepted by the mainstream over time. For instance, gun control was much more popular in the 1960s than it is now. Also, polls show that older and younger generations of voters have roughly the same positions (in terms of %) on abortion.

If and when the Republican and Democratic parties switch platforms.

Both parties should one day be pro-life. Abortion must go the way of slavery, with support for it having no platform in reasonable political discourse.

I agree with Libertas here.

In order for that to happen you've to (at the very least) find some way of stopping backstreet abortions from happening. Studies done in the U.K indicate that the number of abortions didn't increase by a significant amount after legalisation.

Murders and robberies and rapes all still go on. That doesn't mean we should legalize them.

That doesn't really address my point now, does it. It is highly unlikely that your views on this issue are likely to ever be those of more than a small minority, so in order for what you want to happen to actually happen, something will have to change at a more practical level.

Uh, the evidence suggests the opposite. Being pro-life is becoming the majority opinion, at least in the U.S.

Can you explain why I should accept a defeatist outlook with regard to stopping the murder of unborn children?

Your outlook on it is still only accepted by a fraction of the population. Most Americans accept it being legal with restrictions, as I and many others do. The idea that Abortion will be totally illegal in the future is hardly foreseeable.

Abortion could definitely become totally illegal in the future if an artifical womb is created and commercialized.
