(69 posts)A lot of words have been put into my mouth. A lot of straw men have been constructed to be torn down on this thread. I'm not confused about my position. I'm confused over the response to it. If Clinton or Obama came on here, their positions would be trivialized and intentionally misconstrued by some. My position comports and is congruent with their's, yet some distort it and misapply it. Maybe you feel that abortion is morally indifferent and therefore you don't care if it's rare. You don't care if the numbers are reduced. I do care because in most cases I believe the option of life is far more morally preferable. If you disagree with me, I don't try and denigrate you. I don't try and score points off of you. I understand that good people think differently. I wish I were more persuasive than I am, but I don't want to coerce anyone to my position. But my position is a reflection of who I am, and it seems to me some tolerance is a good thing.
