>As I have tried to show repeatedly, multiple parties can be intolerant.
Re-read your original comments then:
"The pro-life position of forcing women to not have abortions is indeed intolerant of their rights."
"Forcing people to abort would be intolerant of life or religion, but that is not what abortionists do or are."
Now understand that abortionists are "intolerant of life" as the original GP stated, because they are intolerant of the children/fetus rights, not of the woman deciding not to abort (I think that is obvious to anyone... but here I am having to write it down).
Your all argument was that woman have those rights, but children/fetus don't, therefore forcing woman to conceive was against their rights, and, you concluded, intolerant.
I confronted you with realities where the children/fetus rights are higher than those of women (i.e. Alabama) and by your reasoning, that changes who is the intolerant one.
> The concept of intolerance is not any more "abstract" than "the concept of harm".
Harm is also an abstract concept of course, I don't understand where you want to go with that sentence.
You keep saying things like "... who is the intolerant one." in response to my point that the position or capability of intolerance is not limited to only "one" party. "Multiple" vs. "one".
> Harm is also an abstract concept of course, I don't understand where you want to go with that sentence.
Harm is often quite real. Not unlike intolerance. That was my point.

Harm is also an abstract concept of course, I don't understand where you want to go with that sentence.
