You are being perfectly reasonable and coherent by the way. Whoever is downvoting you doesn't seem to understand the point of discussion.
They go on to argue that abortion is murder in a different comment. They're using careful language but it's obvious this isn't a person who is simply "arguing the other side," this is a conversation done in bad faith.
Are you referring to this?
Because that's very obviously referring to the matter in the way that "pro lifers" would.
And you are ignoring the preceding:
I would read comments more carefully if you're going to cast aspersions..
Neither.
I'm talking about this:
Go and find the context, see that they used lots of "I'm pro choice" language, but then went on to argue that an embryo is a child. This is someone using lots of careful language, but is making a specific argument.
We're certainly allowed to see this in our own ways. Anyone who says blanket statements about how we perceive an unborn child is making a statement about what we believe.
In my opinion, that kind of assertion crosses the line between someone championing the opinion of another and becomes championing their own opinion.
