[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to win the slogan war:

Women's Lives Matter
Mothers' Freedom to Live
Born an Orphan

Republicans are so much better at winning the sound-byte war and turning votes because they focus on the extreme cases that make a law while ignoring the run of the mill.

Democrats won the messaging war in Florida labeling the parental bill the "Don't Say Gay" bill.  They need to focus on the visceral message to label this action.  It has to have a grain of truth, it doesn't have to be completely accurate.[/quote]
Flip the script - “Abortion Saves Lives”[/quote]

The problem with messaging is using terms that turn people off.  The word abortion is so loaded from propaganda from both sides that many people, including a large amount of people who don't pay attention to the media and news sources, immediately have ideas in their mind that may or may not be part of the discussion.

To be effective messaging, you want to use terms that will give people a visceral positive message or a message that they automatically want to support.  And that means not including the politically loaded word "abortion"[/quote]

How is a medical procedure “loaded”? The point of saying Abortion and talking about abortion de stigmatizes it. But I want to make a slaughter change: Abortion care saves lives.[/quote]

DP: It shouldn't be but it is.  That's the unfortunate reality[/quote]
And THAT is why we need to be talking about it. Tell our stories, how someone you love will need/has had an abortion. NOT talking about something Does. Not. Make. It. Less. Controversial. 
Abortion care is healthcare, abortion saves lives, abortion allows women the freedom to decide when and how to have a family. Abortion is common. Access to abortion impacts our economic lives. [/quote]

You can't decide when and how to have a family without being able to have an abortion?[/quote]
No one has ever told you their personal stories and based on your tone, probably for good reason. [/quote]

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've counseled many teens and women. I didn't say I'm opposed to abortions. I don't think they should be viewed as a family planning tool.[/quote]

Exactly zero women and girls use abortion as a family planning tool. [/quote]

You must not have read the previous post or else you wrote it and are now backtracking.[/quote]
+1 no doubt about it[/quote]
