re: #219 calochortus

I think you’re wrong. Its not about how pro-choice people have dealt with the situation any more than pro-choice folks were happy before Roe because the anti-abortion folks were nice.

Oh, the anti-abortion (or pro-life) people were rarely nice, but that’s not the point. Properly extended, a hand extended in honor and with respect can become a handshake of new understanding. At the very least, it creates the impression that one can disagree but remain civil.

It doesn’t have to be all slash and burn, scorched earth, total victory or total defeat. Men like Buckley and Kempton understood the idea of “honorable opposition”.
