View from the pro-choice side

July 11, 2013 by Andrea Mrozek Leave a Comment

I appreciated reading this, from Jill Stanek. It’s an interview, a discussion between a pro-life activist and a pro-choice activist. Here’s the pro-life question:

I so often hear wild exaggerations from the other side that I never know if and when they think something is a real emergency. I asked Robin about this. Do they see these particular times as truly alarming?

And here’s the pro-choice answer:

I can only speak for myself and a lot of activists I have talked to,” Robin responded. “‘The sky is falling’ is a bit extreme, but I do think there has been a significant shift. The language has changed, the tactics have changed. Local stories – such as when Ohio added abortion restrictions to their budget, or when North Carolina gutted that bill – are now national news events.  There is a sense that abortion access could be changed forever. People who weren’t necessarily engaged are paying attention. The public is becoming more aware that abortion isn’t a settled issue, which many believed was until now.”

Interesting.
