The abortion debate goes very quickly into arguments that deem you “pro-life” or “pro-choice”. The only way abortion can survive is for its very nature to be hidden, and it acquires a spurious respectability if its supporters can be seen as “pro-choice”.
The way out for those opposed to abortion is to change the terms of the debate. It is very simple: take it away from abstract discussions about rights, and use the visual. The easy way to do this is to have a slogan: “Google pictures aborted babies” (deliberately no punctuation).
To prove this, have you ever wondered why supporters of abortion never use pictures of the results to support their case? They know it will destroy it.
If people put into Google the words “pictures aborted babies” the truth of abortion will become apparent. This slogan could be part of an advertising campaign, and could be inserted into every interview or online discussion.
