"* frivolity towards killing a baby as being "very bad karma"
Different actions carry with them different severities of karma. I would hardly call murder, "frivolous".
* denial of unpleasant truths because its uncomfortable for you
I never denied anything.
* blatent falsehood regarding "Abortions are performed a vast majority of the time for sound medical reasons"
That's not blatant. I simply didn't have my facts straight. I did however, research it and correct my statement.
* comparing 9 deaths of abortion providers by a handful of sociopaths to the 40+ million babies aborted, then trying to equate the actions of these few sociopaths as a common trait amongst all who respect the sanctity of life;
Its more than just a handful. While these abortions were performed legally, murder is not legal. These types of actions contribute to the defining characteristics of the pro-life movement.
* your claim that "Pro-life is pro-ignorance" when the primary tool of the pro-life movement is education;
That is simply not true. The primary tool for pro-lifers is abstenance. The primary tool for the pro-choice movement is education.
* flouting your faith as if it gives you full authority to speak for all of Buddhism;
Yeah, it does. You, however, don't.
* this completely judgemental and unbased statement "Kill an unborn child and you're evil; kill an Iraqi or Pakistani civilian, and you'll end up on their prayer list";
Its a hypocracy that exists in many churches.
* then after an entire blog on nothing but your opinion, there is this which she said was absolutely ridiculous, "Also, as a buddhist, I dont have opinions".
An opinion or viewpoint by definition is incorrect. By viewing things with logic and reasoning, the view becomes correct and it is no longer an opinion.
As a side note, she had further doubts due to your disrespect in not capitalizing the word Buddhist.
I didn't know you were going to critisize my grammar too.
You're a jerk. Why don't you write me a paper on how calling you that is not very buddhist of me."
