It's not a big deal. Everyone has their own opinion, and in fact, I think it'sa good thing that you were skeptical and didn't immediately swallow what you were told....
...except when you immediately swallowed the other side without looking at the criticism with the same skepticism.

(If you check back, the Visible Children guy has walked back his look at the numbers, and I have no fucking clue about the anti-abortion kid you posted. He's on another planet.)
Honestly, it's a complicated issue, and people need to have these sorts of discussions about it...and about how information is spread.
Seals =/= people.
