We don't like having to use them, However it is our most effective way to reach people. We wish we didn't need to use them, but we will keep using them until public opinion changes and abortion is no longer thinkable.
During choice chain today i had a lady come up and thank me for being there, for standing up for the voiceless, she said to keep up the good work. Which is better than what we here most days.
During a recent choice chain, I spoke to a young women who thought about tirón was alright in all circumstances, after explaining human rights, when human life begins, and why we were there as well as discussing the difficult circumstances women can often find them self in. As our conversation was coming to a close I asked her if her opinion on abortion had changed in any way. She told me she no longer though it was acceptable in all circumstances and that she could agree that it is a living, growing, human being. However she was still stuck on certain circumstances. While she didn't completely chain her mind or do a 180 as we call it, it's a start, and in the future the conversation will stay with her.
We don't always good conversations or people changing their minds completely, so times no one will stop to talk to us, despite that we keep on moving forward, conversation by conversation, person by person, mailbox by mail box, door by door. Abortion isn't going to end over night, it takes hard work and sacrifices.
