I mean that it seems one only ever hears about those who advocate a "pro-choice", pro-abortion culture without regulation and without consequences and those who would ban abortion even in the face of a dying mother-to-be or a raped 12 year old. Neither extreme end seems to garner much support for their own beliefs, but since it seems to be all the media reports, is it any wonder why each side assumes the "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentality. Just a thought. If it makes sense. I wonder if the dichotomy extends, in part, from the media’s tendency to seemingly focus only on those from either extremes.
