The abortion referendums went down because they were trying to outright ban them. If they had been worded to ban abortions only after the first trimester they would have passed, because that is where the population is. That is where most of Europe is, too, by the way.
Pro-life people fell for the same trap that gun grabbers did initially: they tried to get everything they wanted all at once. Incremental is how you do it. Ban a little bit now, and come back for more tomorrow.
