How to talk to pro-choicers?

It has nothing to do what people think is wrong. It is about what is wrong.

And, oddly, nobody agrees on what is wrong. Both sides think the other side is misled and immoral. Both sides think they are on the side of just and good.
 
We need good economics and sound foriegn policy before we honestly can deal with abortion. I'm pro-choice and that's what won me over.
 
Dr. Paul is personally pro-life, but more importantly, he also says that the legal decision should be made at the local or state level, not the federal level ...

So if you are pro-choice, make sure you elect a pro-choice government in your state or local area.

Get the federal government off this issue and give the freedom of choice to the local and state, and thus give the choice to each individual citizen, isn't that better than any federal regulation?
 
China has forced abortion.

I was pro-choice, but now I'm pro-no fed control over my reproduction at all.

China does NOT have forced abortion. They have incentives (educational, job opportunities, etc) for not having multiple children. Have multiple children, lose incentives. That is not the same as forced abortion.
 
Just tell them the truth:

Ron Paul is personally against abortions, he's a doctor, but he has a good enough sense to realize that the president has no authority to make a mandate concerning this at the federal level, and would leave the decision up to the family level, local level, at most the state.

I have personally spoken to ~ a dozen women who told me they really like Ron Paul's philosophy on the economy, personal liberty, and the war; but they are pro-choice so they could never support him. When I tell them that I am also pro-choice, and that I have met MANY Ron Paul supporters who are also pro-choice, I can see the look of incomprehension on their faces. I usually add that Ron Paul would leave it up to the states, and that if we really don't want a central government determining every move, then we have to accept it that freedom of choice might have to be a fight that will happen in our state legislatures. This at least gets them interested and somewhat past the knee-jerk reaction. ( I still can't believe I like a pro-life candidate.) The main point I make is that they are talking to a Planned Parenthood volunteer worker who is so concerned about the direction our nation is taking, that I am putting protecting women's reproductive freedom on the back-burner for the moment, and so should they!
