Many Freepers portrayed Brown as a full supporter of abortion, when he record clearly said otherwise.
Brown’s beliefs mirror what we find in polling across this country - no partial birth abortion, no tax payer funding for abortion in the US or overseas, parental notification, showing women their sonograms prior to an abortion and requiring a 24hr wait period for her to decide AFTER seeing her babies development - he introduced legislation to do just that in MA. Brown concedes abortions will take place and therefore should be safe and legal.
While I personally go further than Brown and want all abortion illegal, I realize his position is a solid position shared by most Americans.
I’m glad to see Father Pavone speak in support of Brown and that groups working to end abortion realize Brown is an asset towards their ultimate goal and have accepted him.
I read a statement of his off his web site last week. He clearly states there that he believes we must drastically reduce the number of abortions that take place in this nation.
That is precisely the way I address the issue to people who buy the idea women should have choice.
You don’t change minds by saying you want abortion outlawed. Saying you believe we need to find a way to reduce the number of fetuses that are destroyed is a statement everyone can agree with, and actually support.
IMO, that’s how you more people in your direction.
