Reply #2: Please differentiate between pro-life and 'pro-birth'

[ThorsHammer]

Many true pro-life people are not at the extremes you mentioned, and would rather see it as legal/safe/rare than illegal/common/dangerous. Things like sex education, contraception, RU 648, etc are fine with people like this, as they will greatly reduce the number of abortions. You're never going to get the far right (the extreme that you mentioned), but some of the moderates will be willing to listen. The key is getting the message across clearly, as (like you said), there needs to be rational and effective opposition.
