RE: Is "Pro-Life" an Accurate Label?
I really enjoyed this post. I agree with many things you presented. I believe the real problems arise when one side isn't able to see where the other is coming from. Abortion is an issue that typically induces strong feelings one way or another, which is why it must be talked about. If we don't understand why the "other side" feels the way they do then we will never have a complete understanding. I think that it is abundantly evident currently just how much division is present among different people's views, and the only way to truly understand our own views is to understand the other perspectives in addition to our own.
So well said, thank you. It certainly is a very difficult conversation to have because there are so many powerful emotions on all sides. I do agree with you, we need to talk about this stuff and have the hard conversations. We need to understand so we can improve.
especially when regarding a topic as controversial as abortion it is imperative to have a full understanding of why all individuals have the strong beliefs that they do. But.. if individuals aren't allowed to freely discuss their different opinion, then no specific "side" will ever gain a full understanding.
