Here’s the thing—what strategy will increase social stigma? Will making it illegal accomplish that? Or will it lend glamour to defiance?
There haven’t been any obstacles to efforts to impose a social stigma since Roe vs Wade. Pro-life people have been as free to appeal to the intelligence and emotions of the population as those against sexual exploitation of children. The exploitation of teenage girls by adults has a much greater social stigma today than fifty years ago.
But there is always a lot of ambivalence about abortion in the general population. The question is, how do we sway that ambivalence in the direction of stigmatizing abortion?
We Can’t change people’s hearts in some omnipotent way. There are prolife chapters and groups all over the country. Thousands of pro life pregnancy centers.
Changing the law DOES stigmatize things. When something becomes legal it becomes WAY more ok.
Don’t worry about unintended consequences and for heaven’s sake make killing children illegal.
