Not trying to pick on you, I get it but this kind of language is part of why we are where we are. And its pretty common from all sides. Its one reason for the dissidence I experience when I suggest secession. So many people clearly despise those they disagree with on politics yet for some reason they still want to share the same country / state with them. Logically it makes little sense to me.
live and let live is wonderful, until people with different views start telling you, you cannot do something
This is my point. There are simply issues were compromise isn't much of an option. Voting with your feet should be though.

you are totally correct. This is exactly what is wrong. When people start thinking their convictions need to be pushed on others, this is what happens.
Abortion as an example, if everyone had a choice to choose what they want to do, isn't that a compromise? If I do not agree, nobody is forcing me to have it, if I choose to have it, nobody should tell me I cannot.

You have to know that the disagreement on abortion is about the baby and its rights. Some believe it has rights and some do not. Some believe it is a human and others do not.

that is a good point, but the compromise is still the same, each person can decide for themselves. If someone chooses to have abortion, they have to live with the consequences. This topic is not so complicated, until people start pressing their views.
