Pro-choice men: ever argued the abortion issue with a pro-life woman?

I have, several times over the years. And it's one surreal experience!

1. Yes, my sister

13 kids lives in a pigsty and is brainwashed by the 700 club.

That's why I have no children.

2. Yes

A rather intelligent Catholic woman. She had least had some logic behind her position - I believe we ended up agreeing to disagree.

3. na, they're self-afflicted...

that's why they are so bitter. they think we're bailing on our responsibility as men, but hey, we advocate choice! nobody is making them have another unwanted kid! you'd think they'd appreciate it!

if they want to have another kid, go for it. but if not, that's great too. just don't complain to me about it. it was YOUR choice.

i just don't get it.

you'd think they would get the picture. i mean in china they have like a surplus of 200 million men. that should make any women happy. they can control the numbers. they just have to say no :O)

5. Yes, on Free Republic

Did you know that I'm the Devil and that I'm going to Hell? That's what she told me!

6. What is your guess on the number of women on that board?

They seem to be underrepresented in the minority, non-Christian, non-IT job categories.

7. There are lots of Freeperettes

They tend to be either racist Ann Coulter-clones or bitter old hags like Linda Tripp.

8. yes

She was intelligent and it turns out our views of abortion were very similar with the exception my belief that is ultimately a right of woman to choose.

9. yes

once on a conservative message board. wasn't really much different from arguing with a pro-choice male though.

a good friend of mine is pro-life, but she's liberal on just about every other issue, including war, capital punishment, ect. so she has a rather consistant stance, i can't fault her.

10. It is definitely surreal to argue with a conservative woman

My mother is socially conservative and highly suspicious of feminists. We argue all the time about whether or not we should have a female president; she thinks it's a "crazy" idea while I think it's only a matter of time. Don't even get her started on lesbians.
