Thank you for this. I'm a Christian who is also prayerfully pro-choice, and who has worked for Planned Parenthood (and volunteered at a clinic when I was younger). I was on the receiving end of this kind of hatred and violence. Recent conversations with a pro-life Friend has turned into an argument because he insists that the violence is only a fringe element of the pro-life movement when just about every protester I had contact with expressed their hatred toward me.

I am only interested in finding our common ground so that we may move forward.

I am prayerfully pro-choice. I'm holding the wife and the family of the courageous Dr. George Tiller in the Light. I'm also praying for protection for those who daily provide women with compassionate reproductive care.

Thanks for the comment and thanks for naming some of the ways, that defy oversimplification, we can begin to address some of these questions and problems.

Excellent post, Wess. I have been thinking about this a lot, especially after reading this post:
