No communion for Obama supporters

I don't know if they can solve it, but I prefer a Rogerian approach. Let's work together on those things we agree on - i.e. we want fewer abortions - while still continuing the debate on those things we don't. You've probably detected my anti-abortion stance. I believe that those who are not anti-abortion simply hold a different definition of when life begins - not that they are evil. I can disagree with their belief about when life begins without having to vilify them. I'd just ask the same courtesy from those on the other side of the fence. I'm not a crazed lunatic - I like to think I am a reasonable, educated person who, based on both scientific and logical evidence believes that life begins at the moment of conception. I used to be pro-abortion, but then I became pregnant. I have an ultrasound of my daughter Gypsyboots at 6 weeks. She is shaped like a little peanut, but it's her. It's not a potential her, it's not a piece of tissue, it's her. Having been on the other side may give me a little more understanding on how someone could believe that abortion is a simple medical procedure.

I guess you could make the case that most stereotypes may have an element of truth, but relying on them causes all sorts of problems. Of course, I think a big problem with most political debate these days is the eagerness of so many to simply try and yell louder than the other side. There's so little respect, and so little use of logic and intelligence.
