I fully agree.

The first comment is a good one;
Because in the end, they don't really care enough to be bothered with it.

Like slavery in America, which was opposed by the majority almost from day one, the Presidents and candidates played lip service to it. Too afraid to take a strong stance on ANYTHING so as not to get caught up in it.

It's telling that abortion has been an issue in every election since roe v. wade, yet not a single thing has been done about it. It is convenient to keep it a dividing issue to mask the lack of contrast between the two parties on most issues.
This is a huge issue and it needs to be addressed. Again, the tables are turning - more and more, people are coming over to the idea that something needs to be done. Ultrasound was a wakeup call.
