Some people in this thread are vocally saying that it isn't favorable to even try to reason with the far right. Just remember that if you try to force an "All or Nothing" outcome you may just roll on nothing.

We've been trying to reach out to pro-lifers for fucking decades now and look at where we are now. What the hell are we supposed to do?

Historically there are cases where "peaceful, collaborative discussion" flat-out doesn't work (...most American civil rights movements succeeded on account of aggression, revolution, and occasionally violence.) So my suggestion is that if bigots aren't willing to compromise, neither should we.

Again, people in power have no reason to compromise with the rest of us until it becomes their problem.
