It's a situation where just because people personally believe the act is wrong, that doesn't mean they want the government making that call for them.
More to the point, recognizing the category of an act is not the same as condemning an act. Abortion, yes, ends a potential life; that doesn't make it a vile act. Life ends all around us, all the time. No reason to fight that.
There's a rail bridge near my hometown that has been graffitti-d with "ABORTION IS MURDER—DO YOU CARE?" for over thirty years. The rail line paints over, and it's back in weeks, sometimes days.
For years, I thought it would be fun to change ABORTION to LISTERENE, PESTICIDE USE or maybe EATING MEAT. There are many, many ways to end life.
