And because of that, we need to find some conversations based on reason to come together to fight the vitriol. This is one of those to me.
One common ground for everyone, whether they be pro-choice or pro-life, is reducing the number of abortions. No matter how some folks on the pro-life side like to paint the pro-choicers, I don't think you could find a sane person that did not want to reduce the number of abortions performed in this country. So why can't we find common ground outside of legislating the abortion procedure itself since it is such a divisive and emotional topic and look at the policies that we can use to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. Yes, we all know abstinence is the only sure fire way, but it's been proven that abstinence only policies fail us. So let's be proactive, and not reactive, and work on preventing the need for the services of abortion providers.
I'm not trying to be dickish here, but I've never understood why pro-choice people care about the number of abortions. If to them it really is just a clump of cells, and I believe they believe that, who cares?
