It's perfectly fine with me that some people think abortion is the worst thing on earth. Don't have an abortion, that's fine with me. But I want to know who gave them the right to tell everyone else what to do. There are reasonable grounds for disagreeing on whether or not abortion should be allowed, so why should the government step in and control people's decisions. I take the same attitude with outlawing certain drugs. The government isn't our parent (listen to me, I sound like a conservative!). Why should they be going around telling us what to do?

Take a poll of 100 people and let me know how many of them say that murder is OK.

Reasonable grounds are based on facts and statistics, not on contorting language to make it say what you want to say.

 

You missed my point.  To someone who is pro-life, what you wrote and my modification sound exactly the same.  So I'm sure you can understand that no, I don't think it's wrong to tell someone they can't kill their child.
