Thank you. I tend to agree with you that this issue is best dealt with a gentle hand, not an axe - despite my axe-wielding ways that are well known here on FR. :-)

When it comes to the abortion argument, so much of it is wrapped around people's innermost feelings about their personal rights and responsibilities, and I, though strongly pro-life, can feel intense sympathy for the women who get caught in the net of an unplanned pregancy and see themselves as trapped in a situation beyond their control.

Trust me, guys, without compassion we will never get anywhere.

That is the key (to me). These threads are like open rooms without doors or windows. People wander in unknown to the group and take away what they read. You can be winning converts or making life-long enemies, and never know it.

Compassion is fine but eduacation is better. A woman who sees a 4d picture of the baby in her womb is much less likely to allow it's dismemberment.
