It's more than a "little" condescending, and the fact that such isn't recognized and stopped exemplifies the problem.

As for the content, focusing only at the tip and blowing off as "mere shadows in a cave" the grassroots support and their influence on judicial nominees and the congressmen who confirm them is not spot-on.

Any discussion of abortion is fraught with peril when all sides positions are not clearly understood. On the one hand, you have the desire for an open dialog, and on the other, the realization by some that 44 million abortions have taken place.

Just speaking from experience, and living in an extremely rigidly pro-choice region of the country, I've come to associate the "no-compromise" position with those for abortion: "for any reason, because she wants it", without any regard to the pain felt by the little one, viable and more humane alternative like adoption, or the injustice of it all (capital punishment for one not guilty of a capital crime). Perhaps your experiences, too, are partly driven by the region of the country in which you live.

Another danger is that of sounding "extreme" for naming abortion as murder, which can provoke a "kill the messenger" response.

Not knowing your position on this issue, it's difficult to say any more. I would only implore you, please, don't direct anger you have at the admittedly blunt and gruff rhetoric of some in the pro-life movement toward the little ones, who have done nothing.
