If you're honest with yourself you know damn well this would happen, so don't try to suggest that that's not a topic of political discord.

Starting off your 'Fact' by using the word 'If' makes it sound a lot more like an opinion than an actual verifiable fact. As for the rest of it, you switch 'life' and 'choice' and you'd have the exact same scenario, which is why network tv tends to stay away from controversial issues like abortion.
