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

[the_siobhan]

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 can understand that. I guess what I am trying to say is that I find this issue to be very personal and that I am pro-choice as a general opinion because I do believe in every woman's right to choose.

But as an individual opinion where I am conversing with someone in my group who thinks they know better what I should do with my body....hmmm..you bring up a good point here.

The thing is, are they telling me I have no right to an abortion if I needed it? Are they saying I am the lowest of the low for having one? Then.....they're not my friend.

If they simply feel that they wouldn't choose abortion for themselves, then they are still my friend if they respect my right for having one.
