I think the "better sort" of abortion advocate, is really quite squishy about it on th einside, but they talk the talk because they think they have to in support of "women." If you "feel" you have to choose between a woman you can see, and an unborn whatchamacallit whom you cannot see, you'll always go with the hypothetical woman.

The way past this is to show, by concrete examples (not statistics -- that comes later)--- but stories which show that the woman and the baby are not antagonists or rivals for our loyalty.

The good of the woman naturally coincides with the good of the baby.

You can't nourish one without nourishing the other. You cannot tear apart the one without tearing apart the other.

It's always "Abortion: one dead, one wounded."

And you can't embrace the baby without embracing the woman whose body already embraces him.

I think a very strong insight is, "Can't we widen the doors of acceptance and inclusion? Can't we love them both?"

I like that one.
