To defend Lois - and to a lesser extent myself - Lois's experiences with 'pro-lifers' will have been with the extremists. Not the people providing free counseling and free or low cost health care and support (I donate money to a local center that does just that) but those who bomb clinics and murder women's doctors.
And frankly, what many people see of those claiming to be anti-abortion is just the extremists who would deny a twelve-year-old incest victim the ability to not have a baby that might well kill her.
Extremism in any form does a profound disservice to those who are quietly doing what they can to make the world a better place.
That said, I will try to find a place in the next section where Lois can go into a little more depth on why she feels so militant.
