Peer reviewedBlock, Nadine; Fathman, Robert – Children's Legal Rights Journal, 1988

Persuading other state legislatures to abolish it requires the following steps: develop a materials and information base, build broad-based support, use the media, move the bill through the state legislature, achieve incremental success, and overcome barriers.
