That's exactly what I hate about both the pro-choice and pro-life camps. It doesn't matter which one they are both loathsome to me. They both think this is about forcing their beliefs down your throat and if you don't think like them you either are evil or stupid and should die.
Both sides have forgotten what they were fighting for and it seems now are only fighting to win. Competition is a stupid reason for ruining people's lives.
How would you like to know that I'm pro-life and just because you don't believe in God doesn't invalidate my beliefs that a child is a child no matter how small (please, forgive me Dr. Seuss.) As I believe that a fetus is a child , he/she has a soul and one person doesn't have the right to take another's life.
On the other hand, I don't think Roe vs. Wade should be overturned. Confused? Read on.
I understand that you may or may not believe in my God, consequently you have a different belief system than I have. Which means that you live your life by a different set of mores and rules. In turn you think abortion is all right.
That's okay with me, because I feel like I don't have the right to force my beliefs on you. Particularly, a religious set of beliefs. Which, by the way, is why I don't entirely agree with the entrenched Right to Life forces.
For instance, before Prohibition, several tee-totaling Evangelical Christian groups decided for everyone else that they can't drink either. The truth is there was a major Anti-Catholic sentiment at the time, and Catholics at the time were known to be "evil drinkers." Prohibition was aimed squarely at Catholics. In essence though, they foisted their religious belief system upon everyone else by law. Government played too close religion and everyone got burned.
Gaaah! General rant about idealogues!
