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?

My best friend has a solution: every rabid pro-lifer (and I'm talking the gun-toting, license-plate-copying ones) who wants to stop abortion should have to support a child that would have otherwise been aborted. For the rest of her life. Not raise them; just support them.
I've always thought that too. ;)

There was never really a backlash against this until the 20th century, when laws went into effect. Then the proverbial shit hit the fan.
Yup. BTW, the stuff I was going to look up for, I haven't because I've been responding to people all day. HA! Anyway, if you haven't already, read Backlash by Susan Faludi. That's where that info is, but the whole book is so unbelievably worthwhile.
