Also, I'm kind of unsettled by the abortion/genocide analogy. One could say that killing is killing, but genocide is a different context.

I can't really put accurate words to why that analogy doesn't quite work for me. Just a feeling.

Overall though, I am quite pro-life.

No one got roughed up or anything yesterday. There were tons of security around, and one pro-choice guy who liked to scream "You don't have a right to live!" (How ironic, idiot). The display was still up today, but I wasn't around it, I was in class.

Once the screaming, argumentative people on both sides got out of the way, I found I was able to have quite a few calm, civilized discussions and debates with others. Once the drama stopped, it was good.

Good post. I have pretty mixed feelings on the issue myself, but respect the way you support your view, and it's too bad the crazy fringe pro-lifers get all the attention when their are more stable minded people on that side of the debate.
