Most people on either side have such a knee-jerk reaction to the ones who disagree with them. I rarely discuss anywhere but my own journal that I am pro-life because people tend to automatically assume I am irrational about it and all, "But, it's a baybeeee!" I have a lot of rational thoughts on it and I do not believe it should be made illegal immediately without a lot of changes first. Changes that many on my side would not care for. But, nobody wants to hear that--they just want to believe that I am batshit insane, irrational and want to bomb abortion clinics and shove pictures of dead fetuses in their faces.
Of course, a lot of pro-lifers think that all pro-choicers think abortion is hunky-dory and everyone should have one and crazy stuff like that. So, it's on both sides.
And, I'm a LOT more comfortable discussing the problems with the abortion debate than I am actually having the abortion debate.
