Yes.
Yes and every January 22, pro-lifers marching in the Rally for Life outside the Minnesota state capitol building outnumber the wimpy pro-aborts gathered inside about 8,000 to 30.
The best two-pronged strategy I've seen is that practiced by Life Dynamics, Inc.
#1: Direct Mail Campaign
[from the Life Dynamics web site] One of the disappointments often expressed by abortion advocates is that legalization did not erase the stigma associated with being an abortionist. Simply put, the medical community has never accepted abortion as a respectable part of mainstream medicine.
Today, many in the abortion industry openly admit that this is the most profound problem they have. It is literally true that abortion clinics are routinely faced with having to close their doors only because they can’t hire abortionists or other staff. To address this issue, the abortion industry is currently engaged in an aggressive national recruitment campaign to convince legitimate doctors that they should become abortionists.
To counter that effort, Life Dynamics has developed a very innovative direct mail campaign designed to reinforce the stigma attached with abortion, while educating medical students, residents, and practicing physicians about the realities of life as an abortionist. We also produce printed materials designed to give to abortion clinic employees, including one to make them aware of their legal rights to be protected from blood-borne pathogens, and another which teaches them how to report tax evasion to the IRS and collect a reward if a complaint they file leads to a recovery.
The current goal of Life Dynamics is to send out approximately 100,000 pieces of direct mail to medical community at least four times a year. We have seen tremendous results of this in the past, and we keep a steady stream of new direct mail products in the pipeline for the future. If our experience is any indicator, each of these is guaranteed to become an extremely powerful weapon in the fight against abortion.
#2: Sue the dishonest, bungling butchers out of existence
[from the Life Dynamics web site] We provide a full range of litigation services to attorneys representing abortion-injured women.
Our goal is to increase the chances that these women will be able to receive fair compensation through a successful malpractice action.
Is the strategy working? Read these piteous jeremiads:
"The local manager of the Holiday Inn isn't really eager to arrange the plastic letters on the roadside sign to read, 'Welcome, Abortion Providers.'" [New York Times Magazine, January 18, 1998]
". . .status of [abortionists] is somewhere well below the average garage mechanic . . .patients do not value what we do." [Warren Hern, abortionist. National Abortion Federation Seminar, St. Louis, 9/97]
"I've been with the Feminist Women's Health Centers for many years, and then with National Abortion Federation. Watching this [Life Dynamics ABMAL] commercial made me realize that our worst fears -- our Achilles heel is being struck." [Carol Downer, attorney. National Abortion Federation Annual Meeting, Cincinnati, 4/94]
"Mark Crutcher is the most dangerous anti-abortionist in America . . . I can't impress upon any of you how seriously you need to take this organization. . .they've put out an incredible amount of very professional material . . . the attorney who shared the [Life Dynamics ABMAL] materials with me said, 'If I was an abortion provider, I would be scared speechless!'" [Janie Bush, director, The Choice Foundation (Dallas) at the National Abortion Federation Annual Meeting, Cincinnati, 4/94]
"I've got to hand it to Life Dynamics. They're onto something very disturbing, and I don't know what we do about it." [Ron Fitzsimmons, Director--National Coalition of Abortion Providers; New Times, 12/8-14/94]
