Some people feel that abortion is wrong, other's don't. You can throw facts around as much as you want, but on certain subjects people just have a gut feeling/belief.

That attitude is not a problem for me. I guess it bugs me when people use it as an excuse not to think. It comes of an instant uninformed opinion on something, then the person clings to their emotional crutch and refuses to even consider anything else. They then defend their willfull ignorance and lack of rational thought by saying "That's just the way I feel"
Gut feelings, morals, beliefs and faith are, to me, very important. I'm sorry if I came across as saying that I am against those things. Our gut feelings become stronger when coupled with some thought.
