As with many other issues that will confront us during our short time on this Earth, you will find a small percentage of folks on either side of an issue that are zealots. The vast majority of folks, probably 90% or so, fall somewhere in between and they have questions and value open discussion without name-calling.

If you are not a Schiavo-type zealot on these threads, you will be labeled as the opposite kind of zealot (deathbot, etc.) That's why these threads can sometimes have replies numbering in the thousands, largely made by a handful of folks that enjoy their echo chamber. Pity really. There are so many hearts and minds to be changed and, by and large, that is not accomplished by zealotry.

So, you believe that "90% or so" are ambivalent on pro-life vs. pro-death issues? What hole did you crawl out of?

I have posted thousands of pro-life thread here and have yet to find ANYONE who did not have strong feelings one way or the other.
