92. Respecting isn't necessarily agreeing
So she said she respects people who "believe with all their heart and conscience that there are no circumstances under which abortion should be available." She didn't say she agrees with them, just that she respects them. And she says that teen celibacy is a way to reduce unwanted pregnancy. Well, yeah, it is one way. What's the problem? Probably it would be more effective to find some common ground and have some dialogue rather than saying people who are anti-abortion are dumbasses. I'm an ex-right-to-life chapter chair who is vehemently pro-choice. The terms aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.
