It's about creating narratives away from what the actual issue is. The left considers Pro-Life an attack on the female body, while the right considers Pro-Choice an attack on the God-given miracle of child birth (both generalizations, but you get the idea: my team vs. your team). It definitely goes beyond religious boundaries, at least for me anyway: I'm pro-contraceptive (like any sane human should be IMO), but unless you were raped, you should deal with the consequence of consensual sex, which in many cases, is a child.

I really hate abortion debates though, it always ends up in shite-slinging. Can we not? This thread is pretty damn civil and I'd like to keep it that way.

Bingo. WAY too much of this going on.

Agree.

Sorry, didn't mean to come on so strongly (although I do feel strongly about the abortion issue). I'd rather not shite-sling, either. Even if it means me dropping the subject itt
