I'd rather be an "extremists" who says that killing an innocent child is wrong in all cases than a moderate who says that killing an innocent child is ok in certain circumstances.

But you're not listening: It's about the appearance of extremism.

I'd rather take my time and get laws passed that people agree with and get us closer to the day we stop this barbaric act, than preen about how *I* don't compromise, and therefore allow the other side to paint me as an extremist, therefore continuing to own the issue no matter the reality.

Which would you rather be--someone who stops the killing of the innocent, or someone who looks so loony that the other side resists, but at least you FEEL good about how you come across? That's just childish.

Sigh. It has nothing to do with how I feel. Killing innocent children is wrong. Period. I don't care if the other side thinks that I am looney for pointing this out to them. As long as children are being dismembered we must speak out against it.

"But you're not listening: It's about the appearance of extremism."

If you agree with the proposition that the public would view a total blanket ban on abortion "extremist", but then say that you do support that very thing, but we should inch it in incrementally so as not to appear extremist. By your own definition, doesn't that just make you a dishonest extremest?
