I'm with you, Kristin. The question I posed was really out of my larger question: why can't people be both pro-choice and pro-life? It makes sense that the majority of people fall "in the middle" in regards to politics and religion; they do not succumb to, or advocate, using scare tactics to "scare the health" into people (and, in this case, "scare the "right choice" into people), so isn't it safe to assume that the majority of people would also fall in the middle of this issue as well?
I think it would be truly incredible if there was a group of men and women who are creating some type of group that reaches both pro-choice, pro-lifers, are respected by the majority of people (can't do anything about the extremes), and be ultimately effective in preventing abortions in the first place (when, it is possible to be prevented).
Perhaps that is what some groups are doing, by providing education regarding sexual health (including the spectrum: abstinence to safer sex to contraception to Plan B), but we know how political that has become!
Keep thinking, everyone! Maybe we can find a solution on this site! :)
