Naso, I am sure it will come as no surprise to you that I am going to disagree with you.

Is it so difficult for you to believe that for at least SOME of us who are “pro-lifers”, it has NOTHING to do with “control of women”, and everything to do with a deeply held believe that abortion is wrong?

“SOME of you”, who hold beliefs, and emotions, in that line would be better served if you disassociated yourselves with the “pro-life” label and stopped suggesting that any disagreement was akin to the anti Christ.

I am not “in favor” of abortion, but I am in favor of recognizing that life is more than a potential life and the complexities of individual circumstance are more than any simplistic religious dogma can encompass; and I do mean “simplistic” when it comes to the “pro-life” label.

I respect you, and I like you, but if I disagree with you I have to say so.
