I never said "as many".

Well, let's review what you said:

about half of all Republicans are pro-choice, just as about half of all Democrats are pro-life.

Sounds like "as many" to me, and I suspect to everyone else. No doubt you'll come back with some tortuous explanation as to why "as many" differs from "about half". For someone who doesn't like arguing semantics you're awfully loose with language (when it's to your benefit).

So let's recap what we've learned:

1. You flip. You flop. You flip again.
2. You redefine language...practically arguing the meaning of the word "is".

Cite Dingle-Norwood and I think you'll have the trifecta.

First of all, you edited out the part where I stated the fact that Democrats out-number Republicans. So, no, I don't thing any intelligent person would say it "sounds like as many". You need to go back to school and learn some basic math. Here's a remedial review: If one group is larger than another, and you divide both by about half, the half from the larger group will still be larger than the half of the smaller group, and yet they are both divided by "about half".
