One should have to allow that they are wrong in their position.

Pro-Life: to be wrong means one has willfully taken part in the oppression of ones neighbors, and invited tyranny on us all.

Pro-Choice: to be wrong means one has willfully taken part in the murder of babies, and advocated that others do likewise.

If one must be wrong, which is best to be wrong about....

The author misses a key problem in his analysis of pro-lifers versus pro-choicers (who really should be called pro-deathers!) Pro-lifers do favor education, but this author implies we don't--that's why we want it to be mandatory that a woman gets information on exactly what abortion entails and all the risks it poses to her physical and mental health before having an abortion. We don't favor sex ed for school children as young as kindergarten, but we don't oppose reasonable and responsible sex ed for the public in general. Pro-lifers don't just want the number of abortions to drop, we want the number of unplanned pregnancies to drop, too. Pro-choicers, on the other hand, are opposed to education if it might cut down on the number of abortions performed. They say that they want sex ed, but they don't want abstinence to be presented as a viable option when that would certainly cut down on unplanned pregnancies. They want abortion on demand to extend so far that women are actually endangered by not going into it with all the info about the risks and the high rate of depression for post-abortive women.
