if I were a rhetorical question, I would look like this

Is it possible for somebody who is pro-life and somebody who is pro-choice to be friends?

Is it simply a matter of difference of opinion? Or is it more than that? Is there an underlying difference in values that makes it impossible to be friends?

What do you think?

i had a really bizarre argument with somebody who said that he didn't think these irresponsable women should be having sex before marriage anyway.

I pointed out to him that married women sometimes didn't want kids and that I am in a long-term relationship[1] and I would have an abortion if I got pregnant.

Then he started telling me that there was more to marriage than sex and that I shouldn't be "using" my partner. No, he wasn't advocating celebacy, but I shouldn't be using my partner solely for sex.

Weirdest conversation ever. I started wondering if he had the foggiest idea how conception even happens.


[1] I left it at one. No point confusing the issue.
