But lumping all pro-life folks together into one group along with the radical fringe is..There have been many intolerant things said about pro-lifers in this thread...that we are *all* against birth control, that we aren't willing or interested in finding common ground, that we will *never* give an inch, on and on it goes..too many absurd statements for me to mention them all. You folks are getting your knickers all in a twist about supposedly being asked to compromise...I don't see anything in that article which asked for compromise from the pro-choice folks in any way. She was saying that those who believe in abortion rights and those who don't DO hold some values and views in common. Just like the divorced parents who put aside their own feelings of animosity and betrayal in order to allow their children a loving relationship with both parents. It's the mature, responsible thing to do.
I understand that you will not change your view, I would not ask you to...I hope you would not ask me to change mine. Just because you believe strongly in a woman's right to choose and I believe otherwise, does that mean we can have nothing in common? I hope not..I can't believe that to be true
