I...think this fits here perfectly
I used to support very harsh punishments for women who have abortions a la beheading and other cruel punishment. But, I don't support those views now and support a large fine while abortion doctors should be tried for murder.
The thing is, for him, "used to" is a very young age. So even though that's a terrible opinion to have, it's one he only had at a young age, and he's moved past it.
Everyone's acting like he's a terrible person because of an opinion he no longer has! Yes, beheading women who committed abortions is horrible and hypocritical on many levels--and he agrees that it's bad!
I just get annoyed to see well-meaning people be dogpiled on, that's all.
