I had a previous reply that I had very carefully and thoughtfully written, and because My computer locked while finishing it, it is no more. I don't feel like rewriting it, so I'll just say that you really need to do a little home work on the "Abortion" issue.
Might I suggest that you research both sides of the issues, and find out all you can about what really motivates them to take the position they have. Look into their respective history's and see if there is any underlying, or unstated reasons for their current positions.
This will take you allot of time, but if you rally want to get to the heart of the matter and find a real solution to this problem, then you will gladly do it.
I believe that once you have done the necessary home work, you will discover that there is no compromise in the matter, and that fence sitting only displays a lack of core beliefs in the matter.
The fact that you say "there is no comprimise" shows that you indeed need to do some homework. I need not do your homework to see that the hard left and the hard right will never agree. You see my friend that is my point. That is why a comprimise is needed...spelled out by those of us in the middle that see the reality....that there are times when it is proper and times when it is not....as neither side will agree to that statement. A neverending argument is productive for no one. The comprimise I speak of is not to satisfy either side..it is indeed just to state the medium ground and basically tell both sides to shut the hell up about it and move on...cuz this is how it is gonna be.
You call me a fence sitter,,sorry man I am a realist...
it is real that neither side will ever see things the same way....that needs not happen in order for a comprimise to be reached. Big differance. The underlying reasons for each sides positions really are not even an issue...looking back like that will only make a person run into a tree...one must look forward in order to avoid hitting that tree and coming to a full stop.. Do you understand what I mean there? Again the reasons for each sides position really dont matter....as both have their past...their reasons....their position formed by whatever.......it does not change the fact that they will never look at it the same way.
Seems your more interested in one side being right and one side being wrong...when in my honest oppinion they are both right and wrong depending on the situation. A blanket yes or no will never solve this problem and if you do some research you will agree......or you will disagree with no alternative.
You claim I have no core beliefs...you are wrong entirely.
My core belief is that there is a proper time for abortion and there are times when it is not proper...even malicious.
Neither is appropriate for ALL situations. That is why a blanket policy of yes or no will never work..will never be a solution. You must agree, as this is absolutely true.
Just because I have a differant idea about a solution does not make me a fence sitter...your accusation shows that you are narrow minded and possibly even intimidated by my offering of a solution. As I see you offer none..just direction for me to do something. If you have done this research as you claim I need to do...what did you come up with? JUST that no comprimise can ever be reached?????
That, my friend , is a true fence sitters cop out.
