How abortion became a political litmus test

How abortion became a political litmus test - The Washington Post: "[A]s recently as the 1970s, views on abortion didn’t break down along party lines. As a number of academic studies have pointed out, abortion has been transformed from an incidental political issue to a core litmus test over the past 30 years."

Editor: Of course, it wasn't until the 70s that abortion was legalized, so it wouldn't have been on the political radar. Duh!
