In my Introduction to Victimology class we are talking about how one person and their dedication can change laws that impact many people's lives. We talked about MADD as one example. We discussed how one individual is unlikely to sway an organization in power but a group of individuals can and will if they remain united and persistent. South Dakota anti-choice activist Leslee Unruh is an example of someone who is attempting to impact policy now. I just read a fascinating article that quoted Unruh as saying "Planned Parenthood wants to sexualize children and that taking oral contraceptives is like ingesting pesticides. She went on to tell me that masturbation is dangerous, that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer, and that young girls should pledge to give themselves as a “wedding gift” to their husbands." This woman has many powerful supporters I imagine. While America sits on the couch and watches Dancing With the Stars, she's out talking to policy makers and pushing her agenda. So, I was thinking I would post this here for our classmates to read and comment on. If you found us some other way, feel free to introduce yourself and comment.
