No matter how morally corrupt the idea of abortion is, most Americans wish to retain that option if it is in their interest.

ALL: Allow me to "translate" this for you:

No matter how morally corrupt the idea of abortion is =

#1 "Hey, well, I don't think it's 'corrupt' if I postulate this as an up-for-grabs premise...I mean, come on, had I really thought this was corrupt, I'd tell them to 'quit' doing this like I did in post #27."

#2 "Note how cleverly I reduced 'abortion' to a mere 'idea' here -- as if it was some abstract impersonal issue. I have now taken the reality of 4,000 dismembered pre-borns each day and have abstracted them into the mental debate of arguing 'ideas.' Why the next thing ya know, I might on one of these threads describe my eyewitness experience of seeing an 18-wheeler drag a man and his scooter in a local intersection as just an 'idea'!"

most Americans wish to retain that option

#3 "Why see how clever I am. Planned Parenthood talks about 'choice' without ever discussing what they are choosing upon whom. Like Planned Parenthood, I have used a free-floating intransitive verb of being 'pro-option' without really delineating the realities of what that 'option' is...and, of course, I'm quite clever because I was able to use a parallel word to the pro-aborts' fave euphemism for abortion ('choice') without anybody on this thread calling me for it."

"if it is in their interest."

#4 "Why, see how casually I have pulled this off? I float into usage of the word 'interest' as if we're talking about a book club interest, or a chess club interest. Why you'd never guess we were talking about flesh, blood, and guts by the way I deftly stated that."
