I completely agree that abortion is quite a controversial issue. Unlike yourself, I am however on the pro life side. By being pro life, I believe abortions are wrong and to me an abortion is the murder of a child. With this in mind, understand that my justification against abortion is because of the life of the child, when the safety of the mother is not at risk. Despite of the idea that there are only two common views on abortion (pro choice and pro life), I’d argue that there are many different ways individuals portray and express these opinions.
You wrote about the irony of pro life views, and one of the examples you used were of particular Christian pro life campaigns that use violence. I agree that this does show irony with their beliefs, but I don’t think that you can correlate all pro life beliefs to the violence that some Christian campaigns portray. Many others, myself included, would be against personal violent actions or attacks towards abortion clinics. That being said, I think I would have the freedom to belief the abortion is wrong, reasons which I haven’t gotten into here.
The last thing I would like to question is about what you considered the most ironic about pro life Christian movement. You mentioned that Christians are big on protecting family values, however I do not really see how you concluded this, and would just question what would make you say that Christians withhold family values and if so how they do this. That being said, your example plays an effective role in exemplifying what you said.
