Do you think the people on the right might believe that, in spite of their best efforts to keep society from disintegrating that the left is tearing it apart?
People can want what's best for their nation and have different views on what's needed.

How so? I understand your point, but many people are motivated to act politically when an issue bothers their conscience, and whichever side is more effective at demonstrating that they are on the 'right' side of an issue benefits accordingly from that. Relying entirely on an appeal to morality isn't the the best possible course of action, but there is a place for it in debate alongside other types of appeals.
Because right and wrong are subjective, especially in something as messy as politics. Saying "Its right the right thing to do!" can quickly and easily be rebuffed simply by saying "No, I disagree."

I'm talking about PP's questionable record on parental consent on underage girl
There is nothing questionable about that stance. The girl's body is not owned by her parents. How they feel about her choices in these matters is totally irrelevant.
If parents want their daughters to not get abortions, instill that value in their children. It is not my, Planned Parenthood's, nor societies job to see that your child adheres to your values.

So a charity cutting funding to an organization with questionable practices (I'm talking about PP's questionable record on parental consent on underage girls and reporting actual rapes) is akin to rape? And all laws regarding the termination of a life (in some views) and oversight of abortion clinics is akin to rape?
How utterly insulting to those who have actually suffered from rape. This is the kind of equivalency that is complete bullshit and that is pushed by Democrats who can't stand on accomplishment and record. Disgusting and pitiful.

Just because these people are stupid, wrong and highly dangerous does not mean you have the right to make them feel sad.

At least, in my experience at least.
