Consistent Life Action Report
by Rachel MacNair

On August 20, Consistent Life members leafleted at the American Psychological Association convention in Washington D.C. with a handout narrowly tailored to that organization. We documented how their position on abortion aftermath was based on the work of researchers with a stated political bias, and asked them to consider how being inconsistent with scientific method would hurt their public policy advocacy. We suggested that the psychology of violence -- dehumanizing language and so on -- would apply to the abortion issue, and gave several consistent-life type web sites for those who wanted more insight for reflection.

Rachel MacNair serves both as Director of the Institute for Integrated Social Analysis (IISA), the research arm of Consistent Life, and Vice President of Consistent Life.
