The examples of your outspokenness you list are all about a week old.

And they were all made before you engaged me, showing that you had nothing to do with changing my opinion on the matter.

Whatever, I'll take your word about your personal past opinions.

You don’t have to take my word when the facts are staring you right in the face.

You seem to be taking two positions on the question of the morning after pill for rape victims in the same paragraph. First you say it should be unequivocally outlawed. But in the next sentence, you can tolerate it. If prolife policies are enacted into law, it'll have to be one or the other.

False, and this is the problem from which narrow-minded people on both sides of this issue suffer. I do not compromise on principle, but will on practice. As long as the law acknowledges and works against the principle allowing the murder of innocent human life, I can be patient and allow abortions under some circumstances, even those I might personally reject. It is called rational compromise.

If you're going to tolerate the morning after pill even though it murders an innocent life - what else will you tolerate?

It depends upon the principles driving the issue and the extenuating circumstances surrounding it. You will need to try harder.
