"but I hope he will accept that the power of the example is important in making the point."

Yes. I agree that both sides in this scenario could be coming from a position of personal honor while considering the other side indecent.

The example I gave earlier where Robert Barry makes comments like he is "helping the little fetuses get into heaven" is dishonorable. He admits that he does not believe in the concept of heaven and just says things like this to insult the persons on the listening end. It is a very indecent thing to say even if he considers his position "population control" to be honorable.

Like wise prolife people can say dishonorable things about the women having abortions. Example: calling them all crack whores or something with no knowledge or consideration for the actual individual circumstances is dishonorable. The speaker knows what they have said about some of the women is untrue and an indecent remark...bad means toward accomplishing their goal etc.
