text: Fair enough -- I shouldn't have called your accusation "dishonest," and I apologize for that. I still believe that accusation is ill-founded, but again, agree to disagree. I don't expect to change your mind, but I hope that I might show others that it's possible to defend a point without resorting to sarcasm and personal jabs. 
  
  In fact, I do think it's possible to support both the NRA and aspects of gun control -- Wayne LaPierre himself supports enhancing our ability to restrict gun sales to the mentally ill. And I do think it's possible to be pro-life and support aspects of Planned Parenthood -- Planned Parenthood does much more than perform abortions, and of course it's possible to support their non-abortion aspects while maintaining pro-life principles. 
  
  My point is that portraying these issues and organizations as black-and-white does the debate a disservice. Sure, navigating these contradictions can get a little messy, but we shouldn't reject somebody for attempting to do so.
