My only point is that it is perfectly fine to be adamantly opposed to abortion while recognizing that other people take a different view. The majority opinion on this thread is going to be that abortion is such an important moral issue that the pro-life position should be imposed on everyone else.

I'm not in disagreement with that, although there are some very serious obstacles to doing that. Until that happens, all anyone honestly can say is "I'm personally opposed to abortion, but I can't impose my beliefs on anyone else."

"I'm personally opposed to abortion, but I can't impose my beliefs on anyone else."

That is the most dishonest position to take.

Honest positions to take are, you are pro life and the unborn should not be killed, you are pro abortion and believe the baby deserves no protection or you believe that somewhere in the continuum of human development the baby should be protected.

The I'm pro life but you can kill'em position is drek.

Neither can I but the issue is should you ? If there were a vote tomorrow to ban it should you vote for a ban ?
