No they don’t. They are cavalier about it.
It sounds like you're getting hung up on the attitudes of a few which is precluding you from seeing the rest of us.

The pro choice faction is pro death. There is no coloring that and its completely irrational to try and turn it around. You can’t put lipstick on a pig and call it something else.
The appeal to simplicity is a common fallacy. The reality is far more complex. 'ever try to explain to a liberal how cutting taxes results in greater revenue despite how ironic it sounds?

People get hysterical over shootings but are quite cavalier about abortions in comparison.
Likewise, people get hysterical over abortions but are quite cavalier about the innocent children that die from gun violence, air pollution and our military operations.
You seem a little preoccupied with your resentment towards your opponents. Try focusing on the issue.

How about the democrats who pollute just as much individually while pointing at republicans. Or being in the pocket of big pharma and big agriculture just as republicans are. Hypocrites all.
Most people are hypocrites to some extent. But there's a difference of scale between what an individual can do by himself and what a nation can do together through government intervention. As an individual, you can certainly recycle your cans, but you can't tell a corporation to stop dumping tons of toxic waste in the river and expect them to comply. For that, along with most of the biggest culprits in pollution you need government regulation or it's not going to stop. And which party is slashing environmental regulations right now Rose?
I think you know the answer to that one.

The pro abortion crowd has its own screamers. And to applaud the loosening of restrictions speaks volumes about how much they ‘care’. I realize not all thought that was a good thing.
Every crowd has it's screamers, they just aren't screaming the same things. I think the applause for loosening restrictions probably means different things to different people. For me it means women have a safer path to professional help which might even include an alternative to abortion.

illegal abortions aren’t as big of an issue as the pro abortion folks want people to believe.
Well, abortions aren't illegal right now, right? The concern that the pro-legal-abortion folks have is if/when abortions do become illegal.

They can pretend all they want. I put pro choice in quotes because its really pro death.
since when is death an antonym for choice?

Morality can’t be legislated and though I would like it banned that won’t fix the underlying problems which government can never fix. Screamers on both sides don’t help matters either.
Well, here we agree. I would much rather see all that effort focused on fixing the underlying problems that put people in situations where they seek abortions.
