Everyone should read this excellent, thought provoking article, along with the article in the link at the bottom re the Planned Parenthood fetal tissue situation.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

Like Merge, I also enjoyed these paragraphs. Personal experiences and feelings are such a part of who we are that I think we say "Well, since me experience with xyz has been only positive so xyz must only be positive." A great example of that is when someone goes crazy and commits a heinous crime and their family stands behind them and says what a great person they are. No, the fact is that they are a criminal.
I especially love the bolded sentence. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you (or your beliefs) are being personally attacked. Especially when the opinion you have formed is based on complete misinformation or at least shaky ground.
Excellent, excellent article, thanks for sharing.

"The misinformed are not an ethnic minority being oppressed." My favorite sentence as well.

Thanks, I'm glad it connected with you all!
It's applicable in so many cases, I'm almost sorry they used examples. There will be some who focus on Planned Parenthood and miss the message.
