We aren't making things better by speaking so harshly. I think fringe groups in this instance is an incorrect term. I am a person who would find it very hard if not impossible to have an abortion but support the right to choose because there are instances that make having an abortion necessary, at least to me.
I am talking of rape, incest, medical situations and extreme poverty and inability of the mother to handle the pregnancy emotionally, mentally or physically.
I think responsible people think long and hard about these issues and some have decided that to them it is unethical. They have a right to their beliefs just as I have a right to mine. I don't think of them as fringe groups unless they are trying to blow up abortion clinics.
We have to have laws and either respect them or work to change them. Belittling others for their very sincere beliefs is not going to make things better.
