My response to Seattleforge regarding abortion

I wrote too much. Big surprise :)

Oh, and here's a request: Please don't hurt me.

Along the lines of "I want the debate!", by seattleforge:

I was just thinking about, not debate, but a "national conversation" as I was going to work. I'd like a national conversation. We can't talk about this at all, so pro-choicers must support abortion, all abortions, for fear of sounding like we don't want it at all. Because there's no conversation. I tried it even with a woman during our pseudo-pagan ritual in Dec. She's returned to her Roman Catholic roots (and is pro-life) and is adopting a baby from Guatemala with her husband right now. I brought up one point, she brought up another, more things were going on around the table, and we couldn't talk more. And I'd like to talk, as long as we're not yelling.
