She answered with a simple word: &#8220;stories.&#8221; The tide of marriage equality turned when same-gender couples began to tell their very specific stories: not being allowed in the hospital room of their partner, not being able to adopt children together, not being seen as equal to their heterosexual peers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Actually, same-sex marriage has been much more successful than abortion because that debate is a much more abstract disagreement over the meaning and implications of government assigning a name to a particular relationship, whereas abortion\u2019s harm is <a href=\"\/news\/post-abortive-coming-out-wont-cancel-out-victims-faces\/\">far more direct, literal, and intuitively-understandable<\/a>. It has specific victims warranting empathy of their own\u2014stories, to use Keenan\u2019s parlance, abruptly ended by abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Further, as we discussed <a href=\"\/news\/medias-abortion-blinders-on-full-display-in-piece-about-satanists-abortion\/\">here<\/a>, the \u201cnot enough personal stories\u201d theory of why the public resists abortion is a farce. Pro-aborts have been pushing \u201cpositive\u201d abortion anecdotes for years. The people listen and reject them, pointing out \u201csorry, but there\u2019s still a baby involved too.\u201d Rather than do the honest, productive thing and move the conversation to a discussion of that baby, pro-aborts just go back to pretending the anecdotal approach hasn\u2019t been tried yet. Wash, rinse, and repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Brenneman goes on to recount how she got pregnant during college, \u201cknew immediately and without question\u201d she wanted an abortion because she \u201cwanted to finish college and start [her] career\u201d instead, and got one \u201cwith no pain\u201d in a \u201cclean and respectable office\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I breathed huge sigh of relief and thought to myself, I get my life back! I was grateful that I lived in a country where forced birth was not the law of the land and where motherhood was not a lifelong consequence for a contraception slip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I have never, not for one moment, regretted my abortion. My husband of 20 years and I became parents when we had built a home to nurture our children. Indeed, being a parent has only strengthened my commitment to reproductive justice as access to legal abortion allows children a fighting chance to be born into families that desire them and can support them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And to think, \u201cgetting your life back\u201d only required taking away someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/AbortionProcedures.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-88619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"levatino-ad-LAN\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg 306w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>She goes on to hail the \u201cright to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness\u201d and \u201cequal protection under the laws as enshrined in our Constitution\u201d\u2026 without a moment\u2019s reflection on how she\u2019s actually denying all of the above to abortion\u2019s victims.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the other reason these personal abortion stories never move the needle in abortion\u2019s direction\u2014they\u2019re always written as if the target audience already agrees with them.
