Answer
"I appreciate your response as well. No one likes the idea of abortion; we all look forward to the day when it is obsolete.
"Abortion is such a heated issue that our emotions often get in the way of understanding the other side. Without that understanding, we can't present our own point of view in a way that has merit to our 'opponents.' Instead of discussing until we come to resolution, we start name-calling and fighting, making enemies instead of friends.
"You obviously understand this. By responding positively, you've set an example for all us to follow. When we are talking and sharing, instead of snarling and hissing, we increase the chances of finding a resolution that we can all support.
"All libertarians use the non-aggression principle as their yardstick of behavior. However, the application of that principle is not always crystal clear on every issue. It's a real-life challenge. How do we as libertarians proceed?
"My preference is to honor libertarians who disagree with me on the abortion issue (or any others). Very few libertarians agree on everything. I am delighted to engage in respectful discussion. I thank you especially for setting an example for us! My fervent hope is that somehow, someway, we can find unity in this diversity."
