Yes but it all comes down to defining empathy as something other than 'understanding how people feel on an emotional level.'
Pro-life comes from the care-harm foundation usually but ppl think it comes from the authority/subversion so they can't address it.

You need to listen & empathise before you can understand where it comes from & address it with reason & principles.

Yes, true. But I'm not sure you need need empathy to realise this.
-
I do. Perhaps other people can work it out intellectually & analytically.
-
But most of the time I am appealing to people to understand how others feel coz they're saying 'evil, hateful bigot - punish him.'
-
Or less hyperbolic versions of the same thing. They misjudge motivations coz they don't get how people really feel.

Whatever, the correct word is for the thing I'm urging ppl to do & trying to do better myself, I've used 'empathy' &been understood
-
Ok, I'm largely in favour of your approach.
