Yes, we recognize that. The problem with this obnoxiously loud we want it all now argument that your side is carrying on is that the folks you already agree with you 1/2 way. . I.e. I bet few around here would not think Skywalk's program in post 724 is eminently reasonable.

I can imagine that you guys have scared the bejesus out of the NOW crowd, who would feel that to give and inch is to lose the war. Their fear is rational because that is exactly where you want it to go, and you want to take the women who have abortions and the doctors who perform them and the males who pay for them out and stand them against a wall and shoot them (as I finally got someone to admit 100's of posts ago in this thread).

That sort of "I will burn you at the stake to save your soul" attitude is going to create enemies much faster than it wins friends. It took about 50 years of new-deal liberalism to get us in the mess we are in, and it is going to take a whole lot of time to get us out. Political pendula only swing so fast. Because of the kinds of attitudes expressed right here, the religious right are not very much trusted by a lot of people, who fear that their hell-fire and brimstone speach will lead to a Calvinistic hell on earth. Understanding, kindness, charity, patience and adult behavior would go a long way to calming fears, but that will take time.

It isn't "pro-aborts" that are defeating you. It is your attitude.
