Pro choicers often suck at persuasion and discussing productively when they don’t consider that they could be mistaken (see blog.dennishackethal.com/posts/chat-wit…) but that is not to say they don’t discuss or organize.

Roe v. Wade was in 1973 but there was just as much talk about legalizing abortion in the 90s: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?c…

And pro choicers still considered it their mission to ‘educate’ those ‘flyover-state brutes’ who effectively banned abortion by making it really difficult to get.

@dchackethal · · Show · Open on Twitter

@rveulacia @DavidDeutschOxf

It’s not true that only pro life talked and organized. Whenever pro lifers attacked planned parenthood clinics, for example, there’d be an uproar by pro choicers.
