   For decades, the Beltway press insisted GOP opposition to abortion was a "deeply felt" conviction.

   Feminists like me argued otherwise: it was just a low-stakes way for conservatives to express misogyny.

   Recent shifts in polls prove feminists right.

     Why read past headlines, especially before commenting: I use the abortion issue as a lens to examine fantasy vs. real-world politics.

     Fascism depends on fantasy. Support for it crumbles when people start dealing with consequences.
