Trotting Out a Toddler

“Trotting out a toddler” is one of the most effective tools in the pro-life toolkit. It takes practice to do it right though! The basic idea is to make an analogy between abortion and killing a toddler. Don’t expect the analogy to change anyone’s mind on its own. Most pro-choice people feel that there’s an important difference between abortion and killing toddlers. The point of the analogy is just to bring those differences to the surface. Discuss the differences directly to have a meaningful, productive conversation.
