I empathize greatly with your attempts in this thread... I just wanted to say.

Unfortunately, I suspect many of the women who argue for maintaining abortion do so out of fear: they're afraid they will need the option because of violence or the possibility that their lives might be consumed by the raising of a difficult child (or burdened by the sorrow of a child lost young to a crippling disease), and so they are speaking from emotion, which cannot be argued.
