To those who read my last blog post and have known my stance on fixing the "Human Scavenging" problem by utilization of a the free market boycott, an obvious question presents itself. Why would you not just attack this practice through the legislature?
I am not against legislation banning this practice. In fact, I find such a position very sensible and beneficial. However, I think highlighting the issue on a political level is not the proper way to change the minds of those around us. I believe that if we truly want to make a difference as far as legislation is concerned, we must first change the philosophical beliefs of the people. It is a well-observed truth that our government changes based on the beliefs of the citizens.
The fight to end abortion is not going to be won in a courtroom, nor Congress. It will be won through grass-roots activism, through changing the ideology of the general public.
As much as I hope this atrocious practice ends, my goal in this site goes much deeper than that. Even most Pro-choice advocates would likely consider these practices disgusting. I view this as a source of common ground, which can be used as a conversation starter, as a way to begin a civil conversation with those who disagree with us. That is why I have started this site, and have tried to raise awareness.
Let us remember that although government is the solution to the abortion crisis, we need a public (regardless of political affiliation) who believes abortion is wrong to produce a lasting piece of government legislation.
