I think it’s high time we start addressing the pro choice people in a different manner. The way we’re doing it today is an open invitation to mockery, and that way we ain’t getting nowhere.
We need to be structuring our arguments, and not just say how awful things are. We need to rephrase our statements and rhetoric, because words are important. As it is today they just call us conservative Christians, hillbillies and Hicks and keep passing laws allowing abortion. It’s easy for them because nobody’s listening to failed rhetoric. We need to be smooth talkers, like they are.

Wouldn't that be playing on their turf?
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV)
We might also start with repentance and prayer seeking God's face.

"It’s easy for them because nobody’s listening to failed rhetoric."
It isn't rhetoric that's killing babies,
it's sin.
People who cannot be moved by the life of their own child...
will not be moved by words.

I want to add another point.
There ARE women going to abortion clinics who still have a conscience but are feeling desperate and confused...
for these women, words can help.
There are women who've had an abortion, and their conscience has torn them apart...
for these women, words can help, and God's spirit can heal.
In my post above, I wasn't talking about these women.
I was talking about the women, and the men also, who have no conscience at all.
These seem to be the people writing our laws, and directing our culture.
These seem to be the people in majority.
For these people, these people with no conscience, words will never move a heart that cannot be moved by the blood of the innocent.

I don’t agree with you, Maxwel.
Denying the power of words and rhetoric is a dead end.
What kind of rhetoric is being used by us, the pro life supporters as of today? We’re using a rhetoric which is easy to dismiss for the pro choice movement. We haven’t been able to make society see abortion from the children’s point of view, but they have done good on making this a question about women’s rights. How could they do that? The answer is rhetoric.

They may not be moved today, but they may be moved tomorrow. The process of change isn’t accomplished in one day.
We should make plans on how to change people’s mindsets instead of rallying in the streets and be writing angry comments on the internet. The pro choice people have made their case properly. We still haven’t. But it’s not too late.
