I definitely wasn't accusing you of such short-sighted thinking. Just pointing out the hypocrisy that exists in the name of religion among, certainly not all religious people, but enough that it merits pointing out.
And for argument's sake, on the right there is the lunatic who thinks blowing up abortion clinics is the answer. There is no corollary on the left. While I have heard things that implied such, I've never heard anyone ever be PRO abortion. And I've got some pretty hard left friends
Unfortunately, trying to find middle ground uses that end of the right to balance off the left: legal safe and rare. And in my opinion, the result is far more conservative than the average, middle of the road American feels. For instance, if access to abortion was legal, safe and plentiful, but only allowed in the first or second trimester (with exceptions for emergencies), I think the majority of Americans could get on board. But that's not what is seen as compromise in America today. I'd even be ok with mandatory counseling about options, as long as they weren't harassment in disguise.
But back to the original subject, are Ohioans getting fired up over this issue? Or are they just accepting this?
