It's funnier how the catholic church defends pedophilia on an institutional level, but you "think of the children" types don't seem to care.
Fun fact, the tolerance paradox isn't a paradox. It's a social contract. The contract is to be tolerant. Catholics are intolerant of anything they disagree with. They don't abide by the contract, therefore we aren't obligated to tolerate their bullshit.
Even more fun facts, the late term abortions catholics LOVE to hate-monger about (I went to the march for life I know first hand) make up a tiny fraction of total abortions, and they are almost always emergency situations, or discovered fetus conditions incompatible with life. Any arbitrary ban WILL kill women, and disproportionately kill women who actually want children. Three women died in Texas in November alone due to abortion laws.
I'm sure there can be some reasonable agreement that gives doctors greater discretion while not allowing elective late term abortions or whatever you think is happening, but for right now, you're killing actual people.
I am not opposed to abortion, personally, nor is it banned anywhere in my country. I also have not killed anyone yet, but I'll yet you know if anything changes. However, I am not particularly interested in forcing chrstians to accept secular morality.
The paradox I am referring to, is not in the fact that people that preach tolerance should be tolerant to everyone. I am instead pointing out the fact that western progressive culture, while preaching diversity, do not actually accept people that disagree with them, so inclusivity is contingent on acceptance of certain views, in that sense, this "diversity" is skin deep, we only accept you if you already agree with us.
This is similar to how christians have historically thought, ironically. So while blaming catholics of being intolerant of everything they disagree with, it seems like you are doing exactly that.
I already addressed the point in your second paragraph directly.
"I don't think women should have rights" is not a differing opinion worthy of consideration.
I don't think you did address it. What do you mean women shouldn't have rights? There are more rights than right to abortion, and you don't have to be dogmatic about it.
