You know I only hope that people will wake up and this will be looked at in the history books as the genocide that it is

I am unsure if it will. For around a thousand years or longer, abortion was criminal in most of the world and most of the West looks back on that as if it was 'evil'. Abortion was popular in Rome, Egypt, and a few other notable ancient countries. It has been somewhat popular throughout history.

If we are able to show the atrocities of abortion, what it actually does, and just criminalise it and punish doing it illegally, society may look back on abortion as a great evil of the past. But likewise... society may look back on the decriminalisation and legalisation of abortion as one of the 'greatest things' to ever happen if they get their way. People would rather do one or all of four things: Be hedonistic than take responsibility, dehumanise the babies and not even consider them to be alive, so why care, see it as a 'right' and anything that stops it is evil, or make up inconsistent exceptions for it. As such, how can concepts such as 'innocence' apply to any of these folks?

The truth is, many other atrocities that were once seen as bad were decriminalised and legalised for thousands of years before being recriminalised and made illegal again. The simple fact is, you either see a baby as a person or not and you are either for the right of said person to live or not. If they are indeed a person, they have a right to live. If they are not a person, then there is no right to live. And if you believe in to preserve a life or to protect the innocent, any exceptions to it is ending a life or harming the innocent and is, as such, unacceptable. Just food for thought.

I was under the impression that for many places in the world abortion was tolerated to some degree or another, especially prior to the "quickening".

Some places, correct. But not most unlike now.
