Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it

It doesn't matter if you've never picketed.  You're on this message board right now right here giving your unsolicited opinion where all can see it.  To women who may have had an abortion, or at least considered it (and I know the latter exist on this board because I'm one of them).  Language like "Killing your baby" is 100% about shaming.  And language like "you don't like the brutally obvious and unavoidable fact" is 100% about shaming.  It's also about judgment.  

So if anyone is representing their position with the grace and nobility of a Christian apologist, it's you.  Congratulations, you've nailed it!  All this "It's not judgement!  i'm just saying if you abort a baby you are LITERALLY KILLING YOUR BABY!"  Which is equivalent to "I don't hate gay people! I just want to tell them their lifestyle is wrong, and that they'll burn in hell for eternity for loving someone of the same sex."

Sounded like he was stating his opinion. When you make your statements concerning christian apologists are you stating your opinion or trying to shame them?
