"Go out with your friends, I will scrub the floor by myself"

Great grandmother said this to her teenage grandson Frank "really, it's fine, go have fun."

Uncle Frank often told us, "and at the thought of my grandmother, on her hands and knees, scrubbing the floor on her own, I couldn't bear it, so I stayed home with her and helped her move the kitchen furniture and scrub the floors."

It was a lesson in psychology, given by a simple Jewish housewife, my great grandmother.

Sometimes you need not say much, and the point gets through.

So if some states ban abortion after 6 weeks, chances are that the rate of abortion will plummet even before this cut-off point.

People will consider the unborn to be alive after 6 weeks, then ponder, hmm... the baby wasn't exactly dead until then.

And the thought of an abortion earlier than  6 weeks will make people cringe.

Just like uncle Frank did. He was allowed to go out with his friends, but he couldn't bear the thought.

So continue to advocate for protection from conception, but a cut-off point will stem even very early abortions.

It's simple human psychology.

--

Traditional Judaism holds that sex should only happen in marriage, birth control should be used in only some circumstances, some forms of birth control are  immoral, and babies and small children are a normal part of the community. 

In this lifestyle, I call it a life society, people do not even hear about abortion, let alone ponder at what week gestation it should be allowed to occur.

Build a life society. Then pro-life will just flow naturally.
