Rhetoric puts cloud over Our Lady...

I would like to think that the world is full of intelligent people. That the US is full of intelligent people. I would like to think that many have common sense and the ability to reason. So, why are so many missing the point of the pro-life/pro-choice debate?
I am fully aware that intelligent people can disagree. I realize that for every person who chooses white, someone else will say black. I recognize that for every left, there is a right. However, what I don't understand is why we, as a society, try to create more gray, and less black and white. More middle for every left and right. Why can't intelligent people disagree and then leave the choice to each individual to take a side or to remain indifferent. Why do we have to create non-existent, intellectually impossible middle zones where everyone can be validated by an alternative that is completely contrary to reason.

At least someone other than me recognizes the flaws glaring in Obama's supposed abortion stance.
