Not everyone in the pro-choice camp would disagree. What was the name of that Princeton bio-"ethicist" who advocated euthanasia of retarded humans while arguing that it was illegal and immoral to kill animals? If I recall correctly, he also argued in favor of bestiality once.

Peter Singer, I think it was.

Well, there are certainly nutcases in every line, it seems. The nutcases do not define the group, however. But, as is clear, nutcases do affect the view others have of a group. In your example, this nutcase makes pro-choicers look bad. In the case of the murderer of an abortion doctor, it makes the pro-lifers look bad.

That's not how it should be, but it's how it is.
