So while I'm obviously not agreeing with Irish on the issue itself, I certainly can understand where he's coming from, even if it's from the complete other side -- how outrageous it can feel that there are actually people that don't agree with you on an issue like this.

It's all straw man arguments. I guess I consider myself pro-life despite this quiz portraying me as a complete Kucinich man...but in the end I defy my religion and my pro-life position in that I honestly feel if my 12 year old daughter is violently raped and becomes pregnent I think I would want her to get an abortion and if that is my position it would be quite hard for me to protest an abortion that anyone receives for whatever reason. The violent pro-lifers anger me and make no sense. IN the end if you are really pro life this issue has to be addressed from the bottom up...not from legislation from top down. And the fact remains that absolutely no republican wants to outlaw abortion as it is a key note issue that they can pound and pound and pound as long as it is out there. And many Catholics vote simply on this one single issue and they do not want to lose those votes.
