Actually, we don't, which in my opinion is part of the problem. The left is far better at it. If your statement were true, the counterparts on the right to the Jersy girls for instance, would have been as heavily touted in the conservative media. They weren't.
And btw, the left takes care of the victims they use as symbols, while the right, when they do use them, dumps theirs and forgets about them. I and my sibling are prime examples. Paula Jones is another.
