How do you feel about cooperation and conversation?
It's s**t, and unlikely to happen unless the strong resistance and disrespect is changed. Any real conversation I've had with a pro-lifer is always strained and even upsetting, as the best I've gotten was the belief to "right of life," all else is about punishing the woman for having sex or "being reckless," while trying to make the fetus a victim and asserting it's being blamed and "punished."
That's it! When questioned further, I got circled.

How do you feel/what do you think about pro-lifers?
It's hard to respect those who made it clear they wish to punish women for sex and rape, even moreso for utter disrespect they (those in question, not all lifers) display in regards to women who abort(ed) or support the option.

Do you see them as enemies, possible converts, regular people, lost/confused people?
The group? I see them as a group who I hope will change.

My comment on the article is the "Anti Does Apply" one (by Sayna). I said anti-choice is a realistic label. Do you agree or disagree?
Yes, in regards to abortion they're against the choice. Anti-choice. I only get defensive about "pro-abortion" for its inaccuracy: I'm supporting choice in abortion, not necessarily the choice itself. I've only defend the choice when questioned and attacked in debate, but that does not always mean I'll agree with the choice (even though I do).
All the other labels are only thrown out their to get rises out of people because those guilty of it are upset and offended by the stance or viewpoint of their opponent. It's a really sad move to insult a person, or group, based on their beliefs, choices, and/or political stances alone.
Can we get along with lifers though? Not necessarily, but the low-blows aren't always needed.
