Remembering that "Pro - Choice" is as it says, "Pro - Choice", I see no need to argue with an anti-abortionist on whether she should have an abortion, I leave it to her to "make her choice".
The facts are simple. Some individuals will always disagree with the Anti-abortionists' view of the world. When "anti-abortionists" can accept and tolerate the authority of the individual and recognise the authority of a woman to decide how her body will be used then there will be no debate. The ranting, raving and murder of Doctors and people involved in the administration of abortion by fascist extremists will cease. The chant of the Anti-abortionists will be replaced by democratic tolerance and respect for the rights of individuals.
None of this is difficult, it boild down th respecting other people to make their choices, regardless of how upsetting they may be to one's own senses and sensibilities.
"Tolerance" is something which is in short supply but it can be "acquired" and should be taught in schools.
