A good and wise suggestion. Thank you.

The Republicans who support abortion are shallow and, thankfully, going the way of the dinosaurs. The young people, the ones who realize that fully 1/3 of their generation are missing because they were never allowed to be born, are moving steadily into the pro-life position. Yes, we need to use that force to change laws - especially at the state level where the legislators are far more susceptible to citizen pressure - and let those laws be part of the means to challenge this “ruling of the dark ages” that is Roe. I have some personal means by which I try to change or open hearts and minds. “A Dream A Lot Like Mine” at http://emmettgrayson.com is one of my songs which has gotten some surprisingly (to me) positive response. I even had an old time “lib lady” songwriter friend who was willing to give her time and talents to play a benefit show for an agency which only provides alternatives to abortion. She told me, “If I say I’m pro-choice, I need to recognize that “choice” means there’s more than one option and help to support that”. That is a seemingly small thing - and may or may not have anything to do with what she heard in my song - but it is a step in the right direction.
