There is very little point of talking about abortion to anyone over the age of 25. They've already made up their mind and you won't convince them to change. The only solution is voting.

Sure, but how do you get them to vote about it?

Turnout at the polls is definitely impacted by:

knowing something is even being voted on
being reminded and having expanded how important something is
just perceiving other people are going to go vote too

and so it’s important to discuss something that’s going to be voted on, even if the audience has already made up their mind.

You are right I did miss word that thank you. Letting people know that there is a vote. That’s important. Trying to convince them to voteone or the other to me is just pointless. They’ve already made up their mind. If it takes a life lesson for them to learn well that’s a harsh life lesson. If they learn from it , great. if they didn’t well, maybe it wasn’t hard enough lesson.
