Obviously on abortion, I'm not open-minded.
When I was discussing me being open-minded, I wasn't referring to abortion, OBVIOUSLY.
I was speaking in general.
That's obviously a tough concept to grasp for some, for whatever reason.

You've spent what, 3 pages arguing this with me, but don't believe that your opinion is superior to mine?
Want to know what the difference is, IMO?
My opinion has led to the death of 0 babies. 0. That's why I believe my opinion and morals are superior.
Have I tried to impose my opinion on you against your wishes because I believe my morals are superior to yours? No, I haven't. You've read what? Three pages and you still don't realize that?
My opinion has led to the death of 0 babies, fetuses, or embryos. My wife and I did do IVF and not all of the blastocysts survived. I guess by your reasoning someone is guilty of murder.

Pro-choice does not = pro-abortion.

No, you've spent 3 pages telling me that I have no right to believe that my opinions and morals are superior to those of others.
Others that I assume are those that have chosen abortion.

So you're open minded except when you're not. Thanks for the clarification.

As I stated a couple of posts ago, my opinion and morals on abortion have led to the death of exactly ZERO babies.
How much are your morals worth now?

Sure it does.
What's the difference? Rhetoric?
When we're discussing the issue of choice, we're really discussing abortion, are we not?

Yeah, "pro-choice" was the term that the PC police chose because it sounds less barbaric, grotesque, and offensive than "pro-abortion".
The only "choice" involved is what place will pony up the most dough for the baby body parts.

And mine has led to the death 0 babies. 0. I'd say our opinions and morals are equal.

Opinions are like assholes. Your's stinks and I don't want to see it. You can believe anything you want. You don't have a right to impose your morals on others against their wishes just because you believe your morals are superior . . . for the same reasons you don't want Sharia law imposed upon you.
GMdino is one individual who is anti-abortion, but pro-choice. You are wrong to assume he has chosen abortion. Your morals are not superior to his.

Of course we're discussing abortion, were you confused?
Again just because someone is pro-choice does not mean they are "pro-abortion".

I didn't say that everyone that is pro-choice has chosen abortion. I'm saying that IMO anyone that votes for pro-choice candidates are supporting and enabling it.
If that offends whomever votes that way, I don't really care.

Or...maybe the term "pro-abortion" was chose to sound more barbaric, grotesque and offensive than "pro-life"?

So when a woman goes to an abortion clinic, does she tell the staff that she needs a choice?
Which makes me think, why don't they call it a "choice clinic"?

Can you buy a cup of coffee with them? If you changed your morals would you only be able to afford the small coffee instead of the large? Are your morals valuable to anyone other than you? I wouldn't give you a penny for your morals.

Oh yeah, I couldn't imagine anything more offensive than telling someone that you are "pro-life".
I literally cringed just typing those horrible and awful words together like that.
