Have you heard of the "Delphi Technique", DManA?
Using the Delphi Technique to Achieve Consensus
Some people simply refuse to be manipulated by sly, cunning "facilitators" or "change agents".
The left engages frequently in equivocation, and regardless of how well conservatives may see through it, there are many voters who do not. Conservatives need to not only speak the truth, but do so in such a way that even people who are susceptible to leftist tricks will perceive it correctly.
The way many conservatives respond to the issue of whether a child who is conceived as a product of forcible rape ends up alienating many people who would otherwise support conservatives. A better response would be to respond with a return question: if there were a 'rape exemption' to rules against abortion, how would women who have become pregnant as a result of forcible rape be distinguished from those who become pregnant as a result of consensual sex, aren't happy about it, and are willing to lie in order to get out of it?
Conservatives need to put the focus on the real problem: a lot of people would agree that abortion should only be legal in cases of rape or incest, but don't realize that the real reason leftists push for such exemptions is not because rape and incest actually account for a significant number of pregnancies, but rather because they can use such exemptions to justify many abortions in cases which aren't a result of rape non incest. Similar issues exist with "mother's health" exemptions.
Many leftists claim they want abortion to be "safe, legal, and rare". Many conservatives probably wouldn't have a problem with that, if "rare" meant perhaps dozens of abortions per year in the US, rather than millions. Unfortunately, the leftists who claim they want abortion to be "rare" don't really seem interested in making it so. Conservatives need to focus on the fact that people's avoidance of risky behaviors is greatly affected by their perception of consequences. People who know that sex may result in a pregnancy that they'll be stuck with for nine months will alter their behavior as a result. Not to say there would never be unintended pregnancies, but the more serious the perceived consequences of casual sex, the more reluctant people will be to engage in it.
