The war is never over, but battles get lost, and persuading other people is not ever easy. I cannot recall when I have ever seen anyone persuaded to change their deep felt viewpoints on one of these forums. And even if we do happen to feel that won or lost an exchange, we all have our leanings, and so the next time we encounter someone of our original persuasion with stronger arguments than we could muster in support of our original postions, we revert right back to our original opinions. In other words, you're only as strong as the last solid arguments you heard. Or what-have-you-done-for-me-lately...Nonetheless, it is beneficial to have some sort of dialogue with people who think differently from ourselves, and tempers the stridency of our opinions by making us a little bit doubtful. Abortion creates more stridency than almost any other issue.
