I usually just hear "let the woman choose". Is that a lunatic claim?

Well, the same sort of lunacy that depicts pro-life advocates as insane, foaming at the mouth, religious zealots is apparent on both sides, and neither notices the foam flying from their own mouths. There are extremists to either side. One side says no abortion for any reason, and the other says abortion for any reason, without being willing (or possibly able) to reason with each other on why they hold those positions.

This is precisely why I find it alarming that Pro-Life is proud of his argument from emotion. When you argue from emotion, the other side typically responds in kind, and you get nowhere - stalement. Vilify and demonize the other side, and nothing is left but the balkanization of public discourse. Lunacy.
