"I don't believe any woman wants to have an abortion, so that is the proverbial straw man argument."

When I say want, I mean "decide". I also said "want or need" trying to illustate that point.

As for the rest, if you find your side (my side too) blameless, that you're just "playing defense" and it's only "they" who need to change, with no room for discussion..well then...I guess my question (which was just that, a question) is answered. I suppose we CAN'T change this debate and it will continue to be a polarizng argument that continues to degrade the political discourse of this country.

That sucks. :(

And if you're curious ("I don't know what prochoice language the poster is alluding to"), even the "titles" used, both "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" are parts of the political language used today that make an attempt to "color" the "other side" in a negative light.

I mean hell, here you jump all over me and I'M ON YOUR SIDE. :) I'm a strict Pro-Choice-er. But even my questions apparently get people tense. :)
