A prolife young man came to my door with a flyer.

I was in a good mood, so I talked to him about why I'm pro-choice:
1. women don't go through 7 months of pregnancy misery and suddenly wake up and make an appointment for an abortion like it was a pedicure.
2. I explained that the vast majority of abortions are first term, and later term abortions are usually due to fetal anomalies incompatible with life.
3. Continuing a pregnancy and raising a child with disabilities can bankrupt a family, and state help isn't consistent between states.
4. I don't want a Washington lawyer who doesn't know the ok of pregnancy, like what an ectopic pregnancy is, making that decision for me and my doctor.
5. If the government can tell you that you must have a baby, then they eventually will have the power to tell you that you can't.
6. I claimed the "prolife" mantle, explaining I am for a woman and her family making these decisions, not the government.
He had an enlightened look on his face.
7. And then when he went home and shared your thoughts with his loving Xtian family
He probably got beaten for his troubles, and then shunned from his community.
19. Truth bombs, kindly inflicted, is the way to change our society.
We that know different have to explain it to those that are easily duped. Deflate the zeal and the motivation to be humiliated resolves itself.
21. One line of your post especially should have made an impression on him:
"If the government can tell you that you must have a baby, then they eventually will have the power to tell you that you can't."
That line conjures images of China's ' one child' policy.
I hadn't heard that line before. Well done!
