The problem when you bash millions of people is that your claims against the group becomes untrue very quickly. The Christians in my neck of the woods are generally supportive of women who want to get abortions. Maybe you believe that caveat is automatically implied, but I didn't catch that from my reading of your comment.
I'm not saying there aren't too many who oppose abortion on religious grounds, but I think the bigger problem in society right now is people who have generalized opinions about people due to some (usually intrinsic) group they belong to.
Please consider my reply in context of the post, it is not a standalone piece. It’s clear who “christians” refers to in this context.
I'm going to stand my ground on the matter of broad generalizations being counter productive and often tribalistic in nature.
But your point is taken.
I'm not disagreeing with you on that, only with the suggestion that my comment (or this post, for that matter) are a generalization towards all christians.
The post clearly only applies to those who would use the bible as a source in their arguments, not to those who are reasonable and see it for what it is.
My comment uses "christians" within that context - it is not a standalone piece of text. I am, (IMHO clearly) referring to the same christians the post is. I'm just going to assume it's a misunderstanding, because I find the suggestion of me generalising while the comment is within context to be quite disingenuous.
That's true.
Even in Italy, house of the Vatican, home of the Pope, with 60% of Italians being Catholic Christians, abortion is perfectly legal since 1978 and no one even thinks about making it illegal.
