The abortion debate is a pivotal issue for a select few voters, so much so that this one issue is the only reason they are involved with politics. That is an unfortunate reality, but not of interest in this post.
Recall the viral ad that has been circulating about Obama's voting record. Nevemind about how the ad is full of baloney, it is simply a pathetic appeal to emotion. The pro-choice can also appeal to emotion on the issue:
I've never agreed with the tactic of appealing to your audiences emotion. Though this ad touches on only a portion of the debate, which is a woman's right of choice in the matter of family planning, it attempts to blurr the line with the addition of the emotional response to rape.
Talk about rape, in this manner, and talk about "I may not exist" are both examples that trivialize the main concern of the public policy debate. They are both disgusting distractions, in my opinion. But the scientific side of me wonders which scenario resonates better in individuals, and in particular voters who are not particularly persuaded on the issue of choice versus life.
We shall see.
