That's because pro-lifers (who, like myself, are most often religious) let them get away with it. When someone gives me that line, I let them know in no uncertain terms that I would be pro-life even if I were an atheist. I point to the science that human life begins at conception and after that the deliberate killing of such human life is the murder of an innocent child. And I don't let it go until they either have to acknowledge my argument (or they burst out crying or in anger or walk off-- whichever comes first).
Pro-lifers need to be ready with well thought-out scientific and rational arguments in favor of life. Throwing Scripture verses at them does no good because they'll either twist it or ignore it. Make them listen to the empirical facts that they can't refute.
That’s what caused me to change my mind. The more rhetoric that gets thrown at me, the less I listen. A friend told me why Roe v Wade was pure dee old sh1t any way you slice it. Once I had worked my head around that, I started to feel differently about the entire thing. I had been of the “it’s just a clump of cells” persuasion for some time. Now I don’t think that, either. Logic worked on me and then I arrived at the point that I started to feel sympathy. Am I still lost? Hell, I don’t know! I guess I’ll find out.
I agree with and applaud your approach. I do have a couple of observations, though, if you don’t mind:
1) They will leave, thinking you a religious nut. That is how they will describe the encounter and internalize your arguments, even though of a scientific basis.
2) Their belief is religious. The conviction that the unborn are not human is a religious belief on their part. Their sacrament is abortion. Religious beliefs are rarely changed by science.
So, as I say your approach is sound. But it might be that throwing Scripture at them is exactly as effective.
The black CEO of PP has admitted in the NY Times that PP and Sanger were racist...Nobody on the dem side cares that PP has murdered more blacks than the KKK.... Abortion /birth control is about wiping out the poor,especially black america.....
