1.  "It's about time" -- as if you are saying anything new?

2.  I don't know any "anti-choice" people -- I know some who call
    themselves "pro-choice," and others who call themselves "pro-life,"
    but I don't know any who call themselves "anti-choice" (or
    "anti-life").  Labeling people is, at best, a necessary evil,
    and to insist on using a label which another does not
    wish to wear is disrespectful and hinders communication.

3.  You say you hear too much about the woman's right to choose;
    does that mean you want to hear about the unborns' "right to
    choice with respect to their bodies?"  (A semi-rhetorical
    question whose intent is to get you to talk about issues rather
    than use polemics.)

4.  If you don't already know of examples of "where
    the anti-choice position would hurt all of humanity,"
    how is it that you are sure that it is so dangerous?

5.  Do you have an equal interest in hearing some examples of where
    the "anti-life" position would hurt all of humanity?

PS.  The word is "pursuing."  (If your note had any content, I
wouldn't bother correcting your spelling.)
