Don't sweat it Joe. Abortion is a tough issue and its one that people feel strongly about on both sides. I've been very active in the past on the pro-choice side. One thing I learned is never to judge someone on their opnions on this issue as both sides are following their concience and just coming to different conclusions. I've also learned that its rare that you're going to convert someone. Therefore the best approach is to work toghther on common ground, such as those you mentioned, as well as things like better sex-ed, improving the adoption/foster sytem and trying to make it easier for folks to report rape. Once the common ground is exhausted, we should simply try to be civil, make our best case, and let the citizens and courts decide and accept the results.
Peace.
