"pluck the flower and step over the mud" -- metaphorically yes, but it's a mixed metaphor to me because you're killing the plant by cutting off the flower, leaving ONLY the mud.
This is such a logical philosophy, our current political system and culture works against logical reasoning however and induces personal attacks as a priority over problem resolution. One very effective method of getting your point across is to use your opponents words against them. In the case of intactivism and being called anti-Semitic remember that targeting Jewish children for harm is the definition of anti-semitism.
