The abortion debate is very polarized and often very nasty. Pro-choice activists and insult pro-lifers and call them names, and, sadly, some pro-lifers reciprocate this bad treatment.
Yet in an interview with many pro-life crisis pregnancy center workers (these are people who minister to women who are pregnant and the postabortion women) the majority said that they would be willing to work with pro-choice activists to help women:
“79% said yes to the question “Would you be willing to work with pro-choice activists to alleviate [pregnant women’s] problems, if beliefs about abortion were not raised as an issue?”
Frederica Mathews-Green. Real Choices: Offering Practical, Life-Affirming Alternatives to Abortion (Sisters, Oregon: Multnomah Books, 1994)16
This willingness to work with others on the opposing side is commendable. Perhaps if pro-life and pro-choice activists can put aside their differences, even if only for short time, things for pregnant women could be a lot easier.
