Unfortunate

response to  Siobhan OConnor and Rob Di Ieso's post Playing Doctor

It is unfortunate to me that the pro-life v. pro-choice debate has lost any semblance of intelligence it may have had. This article has no more credibility than the non-medical CPCs that it misrepresents. The real problem with this debate is that people from both sides have forgotten that their opponents are people, people who (i believe) are trying to do what they believe is right. It's easy for me to see that someone who believes that abortion is murder would resort to whatever means in order to save the life of an unborn child. It's also easy for me to see how someone who believes in the right of a woman to choose would view this as coercive and misleading.

What i personally don't understand is how offended many pro-choice people get when people decide not to have abortions. That seems inconsistent to me.

i would like to see a study on how many women wanted to have an abortion, were convinced to do otherwise, and are now happy with their decision. i think a study like this would really shed some light on this whole discussion.
