And sometimes, it is necessary to say things, in love, that might come across as being 'harsh':
"Ye fools and blind:"
" ...hypocrites!"
"Ye blind guides ..."
"Thou blind Pharisee ..."
"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:19-33 excerpts)

LOL, well I'm sorry my friend, I don't see what on earth that has to do with this topic, it just seems like more out of context scripture being tossed out to defend someone's attempt to belittle someone's opinions on a public forum. Honestly, I don't mean to offend you, but that's exactly what it seems like to me, and I could pull out a list of verses myself at this point, but I really don't like using God's Word in that manner, and I don't care to argue about it.
Seriously, I don't care if a member of the forum thinks babies are born on mars and fly here on purple UFO's, we can still show them the respect of not calling them or their ideas "obsessed" or "blinded" or "ignorant," or "retarded." I'm hoping we all agree on this, even if no one here is polite enough to apologize for the remarks.
I do agree with you 100% when you say the percentage of pregnancies that truly 'need' to be terminated for that reason are so infinitesimal as to be practically non-existent, and I know you and I agree on the heart of the issue.
