When will we see Obama ‘evolve’ on abortion?

After reading the Globe’s May 10 editorial “On gay marriage, Obama is on the right side of history,” I became hopeful that the president might also evolve his position on abortion, and do the right thing there. By taking a stand against abortion, the president could start his march toward protecting the civil rights of the unborn.

Of course, there is a difference between the two issues. The unborn don’t vote or make campaign contributions.
