On this week\u2019s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon sits down with Trevor Polo, strategist for Protect Life Michigan<\/a> (PLM), to discuss the results of a new PLM report on the effectiveness of abortion victim photography, how the pro-life movement should respond to various post-Roe challenges, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polo begins the show by discussing the basic framework of the group\u2019s recent survey on abortion. Sent to 1,200 adults, the survey asked questions about the respondents\u2019 views on abortion while depicting various images. One group would answer questions while looking at an image of an abortion victim; the other group would answer the same questions while looking at a generic pro-life message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using non-victim imagery, the results found that 31 percent of respondents harbored negative feelings toward pro-lifers. Interesting results came about when victim imagery was used. Negative feelings toward pro-lifers actually increased from 31 to 40 percent. At the same time, however, negative feelings toward abortion itself also increased, which Jonathon believes is a positive sign of the \u201cintellectual distress\u201d needed to change hearts and minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo when we\u2019re thinking about, \u2018Okay, how can we be strategic with our time, our investment, our persuasion strategy?\u2019 we should be looking at what moves the middle”, Polo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one discouraging result of the survey showed that decreased support for abortion did not translate to a concomitant level of increased support for abortion bans. Jonathon says he is not surprised by this, noting how the persuadable \u201cmushy middle\u201d also doesn\u2019t consider abortion a sufficiently major issue to warrant sudden changes to their political identity and who they vote for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
