Dear Trinity_Tx,
Whatever history you've studied, it is not the history of the United States since January 22, 1973.
If you believe that it was something wrong with the pro-life movement that caused the Party of Satan to destroy the nomination of Robert Bork, then you are wrong. Instead, we got Anthony Kennedy.
If you believe that is was something wrong with the pro-life movement that gave us David Souter, then you are wrong. We were given Mr. Souter because of what the Party of Satan did to Judge Bork. If you believe that the actions of the Party of Satan are the fault of the pro-life movement, then you have descended to something analogous to blaming the victim.
If you believe that the walking away from the first President Bush of supply-siders and other brands of conservatives in 1992 was caused by pro-lifers, then you are wrong. Do you remember, "Read my lips, no new taxes."?
The folks who left President Bush were those for whom economic policy is more important than the matter of abortion.
Pro-lifers continued to support President Bush. It was pro-abortion country-club Republicans who walked away from President Bush, and who voted either for H. Ross Perot or Bill Clinton.
That failure of support from the wing of the party NOT committed to life gave us Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
"Thus, I have made my points, and they are sound..."
You haven't made any point supported by facts. Thus, they aren't sound.
"matter how verbose or full of insults yours are in return."
I apologize if you take my blunt pointing out that your analysis is out of touch with reality as an insult.
"Let's agree to disagree, or walk away however angry you choose - have the last word."
Well, if I were angry, I might walk away.
I think you're projecting. ;-)

That's good, because your post to Trinity was indeed quite rude and condescending. I even scrolled back to see what he/she had said to provoke such a response - and found nothing.
I think we can all agree that discussions on this topic would be a lot more productive if that sort of approach could be avoided.
