This is so well thought and eloquently written. I wish so badly that those with opposing views were to actually read this. It’s really a shame that those with the most uneducated opinions are the ones who won’t pause and listen to reason.

I try my best to listen to the words of those with opposite views as me. I am strong in my beliefs, but insight into why someone who believes differently is always useful. Unfortunately, that same respect is often not returned to us. If only people who are anti-abortion, pro-trump, climate deniers, etc were to hear explanations like yours in this letter. And I mean REALLY HEAR them.
