Then I'd better stop talking, huh?
This isn't any technique. This is emotion. If you want debate without emotion, anger, passion and intensity, try PBS. This is an abortion thread. To many, myself included, this is the single most important issue facing the human race today. Wardaddy was right. This one's the big Kahuna.
It's certainly the single most important issue to the Democrats.
For the record, I've lost about ten people in my life to abortion -- that is, people I've never had the pleasure of meeting. I know a lot of people who've had abortions. I've never pointed a finger in anyone's chest. I've never lectured or preached at anyone. I never even raised my voice at any of them.
And I wasn't able to stop a single one of them.
When you figure out a good way to get people to not have abortions, let me know, because I haven't. Until then, the debate goes on (and it will get ugly).
Well, this rage and shame thing people do ain't it. That much is clear.
I have a friend who is an RN. She's the one pro-lifer I know who really puts her money where her mouth is. She volunteers in a crisis pregnancy center three days a week.
I'll bet she's stopped a few.
(And I am very, very proud of her for it.)
