Exactly. A person can spew racist sentiments and I may not like it. But in the long run, big whoop. Now, if this person is trying to change policy, there may be a problem. I feel the same with people who don't agree with gay marriages.

Being pro -choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. It's pro- women having the right to decide what happens to their bodies.
