Thinking about fury and perspective

I think I made a connection last night. When my Dad thinks about abortion he gets furious. The thought of all those lives taken just gets to him. He is incapable of empathy towards the women involved. He cannot see their perspective. I wonder if it is the same dynamic in the after-math of 9/11. Everything else becomes less important, the enemy cannot have a point of view. Anyone who sees nuances is suspect.
