To change minds and better inform your friends and neighbors, you have to speak up. That means calling out misinformation and disinformation whenever we see it.
YOU: “It feels so much of politics rights now is only for show. Politicians seem to support things just to make the news. Can you believe some legislators want to make the penalties around abortion even more severe even though most of us support equal access to it?”
NEIGHBOR: “I would never have an abortion myself, and I don’t know anyone who has. I guess there are reason someone might choose to have one, but I don’t want to support abortion.”
YOU: Can you tell me a little about what has shaped your thoughts on abortion?
A helpful tip: Ask questions and really listen. South Dakotans agree more on abortion than you think! Listen for the values they express. You can build bridges with anyone.
