reaching common ground

By Diogenes ( articles ) | May 24, 2005

The National Abortion Rights Action League's Ask Genny column answers highly realistic-sounding questions from highly realistic-sounding teen inquirers.

How can I help reach common ground with anti-choice groups??

Dear Genny:

Was psyched to get the alert about the open letter that NARAL Pro-Choice America issued to anti-choice groups asking that we work together to prevent unintended pregnancy. And I read the Time piece in support of NARAL's work by Andrew Sullivan -- it was really cool hearing an anti-choice person sound reasonable on the topic of reducing the need for abortion. So what can I do to keep this campaign going where I live?

Let me take Genny's place for the nonce and tender a response:

Dear Open:

Andrew Sullivan's proven techniques for "reducing the need for abortion" guarantee that none of his daughters will succumb to the anti-choice temptation. May I suggest you network with them?
