It's a pity that so many people do see serious issues like this as completely cut and dried, but I think that's partly due to the coarsening of our culture: people increasingly see opponents not as real people or even as obstacles to be overcome, but as enemies to be humiliated.

As for good vs. bad arguments, if an argument is not treated as a contest to be won, both parties can benefit even if one side is completely in the wrong, with one party seeing the truth more clearly and the other seeing it for the first time.

As I mentioned in my post below, abortion is a topic that will come up in LTDI. I trust our exchange has given you (even more) confidence that I will handle it with reasonable grace.
