See why couldn't you have just said that ages ago?
Man you HAD to bring up abortion, and this was so close to resolved!
Not to derail the topic, and especially since I absolutely detest discussing abortion, more so than any other political subject. But while you might be right about almost all of us disapproving of those protestors, cause I do. It's not true that almost all of us believe abortion doesn't end a human life, cause I don't, and I know I'm not the only one. Granted I'm a fairly moderate prolifer, I don't think it's 'murder'. I don't personally hold anything against women who get abortions. I'm not even entirely convinced that I think it should be illegal, I'm still undecided. And I wouldn't call myself religious. But I do think it's killing a human life and I'm not the only one here to think that.
So perhaps nearly all of us do disagree with their tactics, I do, I think it's just making the situation worse. We probably don't all disagree with their beliefs.
But getting back on topic. While I don't agree with their behavior, the antiabortion protesters I mean, I still support their right to do what they do. I think it's destructive, disrespectful, ignorant, and makes our side look bad. But they still have a right to do so.
As for a few people bombing abortion providers or other terrorism. It's exceedingly rare. And bringing it up at all strikes me as alarmingly similar to those people who say "yes not all Muslims are terrorists, but many terrorists are Muslims!". It's technically true but being used to support a much wider array of political beliefs that I suspect neither of us support.
But again, just cause some fanatics bomb abortion providers or assassinate doctors who perform it. Doesn't change that most people who don't believe in abortion, like say, me, are peaceful and have a right to protest in favor of their views without being subjected to violence.
Not that I would ever do that cause I absolutely detest the abortion debate. Maybe I should be more willing to stand up for something I believe in, but I've found abortion is an issue where almost everyone already has a view that is utterly impossible to change and hold anyone with a different view in utter contempt. It's one of only two political issues I have a stance on but desperately try not to get involved in. The other is gun control. And it's the same reason for both. I hate both sides of the debate, largely having both been pushed to such an extreme by each other that constructive discussion is now impossible and lies and deceit are condoned and widespread. And neither are interested in the slightest in being reasonable and listening to anyone.
