Yes, because I spent the first two decades of my life trapped with a very wide variety of these people. To be clear, I'm specifically talking about the overt activist community.
You have no idea how many hours I was forced to watch cravenly dishonest videos about reproductive biology. It may be anecdotal, but I believe the characterization I'm offering of these people is universal to that activist community and entirely accurate. I would gently suggest you not be so dismissive with a cliched reply like "anecdotes aren't data" which isn't particularly relevant here.
- refurb 5y ago“I am very familiar with anti-abortion activists”. You share an anecdote then claim it applies to everyone?
- lanstin 5y agoHe says he spent twenty years on the inside of a group working and claims it is accurate about a significant chunk of that group.
- refurb 5y agoThe anti-abortion groups vary from radical folks who want to bomb clinics all the way to charity organizations that help counsel mothers about options and arrange for adoption or single parenthood. To work with one group and say you know how the entire anti-abortion spectrum thinks is like working with antifa and saying you know how left of center thinks.
- iamacyborg 5y agoWhich part of “overt activist community” did you not understand?
- refurb 5y agoLiterally the first sentence: “I am very familiar with anti abortionist activists views due to my family.” That seems like a very broad claim.
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoI was clear about who I was talking about. Many of the educational centers you mention are similarly dishonest about medical facts, which is doubly revolting as they're preying on people in a very vulnerable moment.
