Thank you for this. It is so much better than the "I am right and you are wrong and if you don't agree with me you are a hateful bigot who doesn't believe people should have rights!" that seem to be the norm when people talk about views such as abortion and gay marriage. It is hard for me to understand how people feel that expressing such an attitude is beneficial; that is certainly not what will convince people to reconsider their views. Posts such as the one you have given us here, rather than proclaiming that the reader and anyone else who does not share the views mentioned must therefore be stupid and vile, present a well-thought out, non-offensive explanation.
