In the meantime, however, wouldn't it be nice if we also concentrated on things on which we can agree, like the fact that the U.S. has one of the highest abortion rates of any developed nation, which is stupid and embarrassing. Then, while we try to convince one another, we can also do things on which we can agree to address that issue. Like reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies.

I'm sure that both sides are ready to shoot me now, right?

I agree.

The problem is the US is also one of the most ignorant (education wise) of the industrial world too, that might have something to do with it.

Stopping unwanted pregnancies would be great but the pro-lifers don't like education or birth control either. There whole plan is to scare them not to have sex, which hasn't worked so well.

For the record I'm not pro-abortion, actually I don't know anyone who is, I'm pro-choice, which includes the right for people to make choices which I personally don't agree with.
