“Polarization is a well known rhetorical mechanism that presents an issue as an “all or nothing” proposition, calculated to evoke an emotion knee-jerk reaction.
It doesn't work on everyone. “

I'm not sure which direction you are coming from in that remark. I will say this that when OBVIOUS right is wrong, there is a problem. For example, when a little human being is aborted for totally SELFISH reasons and that is why abortion happens, it is WRONG. It is also a polarizing issue but the truth is that it is WRONG. Acknowledging right and wrong today repulses people and their “knee jerk” reaction is to look for “red herrings” so they can rationalize it away or simply not deal with it.


Using THAT issue, of abortion, has truly changed the moral landscape of our country. It is a trickle down of degradation of human life - young and old.

It has had huge ramifications and has hastened more moral decline in our country. So is abortion polarizing? Yes. Is it an "all or nothing" proposition? Yes. Either the little human being lives or it dies. Should abortion be ILLEGAL, again? Yes. Err on the side of life. If others insist on "back alley" abortions - so be it. I can NOT support evil so they can SAFELY have an abortion.

If it’s an all or nothing proposition, you have to be prepared to accept nothing if you can’t have it all.
