I'm trying to show folks on another forum I'm on another perspective, but it's just too frustrating to argue about this issue so I should do something else, like get ready to carry large amounts of books from the library.

But I wish some sort of middle ground could be reached. Truth is, folks that are pro-choice for the most part don't like the concept of abortion, but it's much worse for folks not to have the option of safe abortions.
Plus that doctor didn't just perform late term abortions but abortions in extremely hopeless and depressing cases, and folks don't even consider that, they just label him as a murderer which isn't totally accurate and annoys me.

So I must focus on doing something else because stomach aches from arguing with people are annoying.
