These abortion discussions are always interesting because each side tries so hard to desperately justify their belief to the other.

I think what a lot of people (in general) don't understand is that there really is NO right/wrong. I'm pro-choice and at the same time, I can totally understand why someone who is pro-life thinks they way they do.

The key thing here is that people need to not force their beliefs upon others and live with tolerance of what the other side does. You can keep your belief and do you part my not partcipating in the thing you are against, but by all means, don't look down upon others who believe or think differently.

A lot of people lose focus on that key aspect and go off and do things like create laws, or stand outside of clinics harassing people. I can't really think of many instances in which pro-choicers piss off pro-lifers aside from the fact they are pro-choice. Pro-life (the extreme ones) seem to be the ones killing the docs, blowing up clinics, harassing people, etc. It's all unnecessary.

I mean, really... we'll never (any time soon, anyway) find out the point at which life REALLY begins, or when the cluster of cells actually turns into a life, or the exact point when it's REALLY "okay" to kill those cells. It just won't happen.

But... the debates will rage on. I think people in general just need to kinda drop it and accept that it's the way things are and not everything that goes on in life will please you or go YOUR way.
