- I'm sorry, what risk are you referring to? Since you feel no
- responsibility towards an unborn child and you can talk so callously
- about killing such an infant, it is apparent that you aren't taking
- any risks at all. Unless you mean the risk of having to pay for someone
- elses abortion!
-
- I guess I hadn't realized that I had become so out of touch and that
- I wasn't aware that so many people are using abortion as casual
- birth control. Naturally if you don't have even the morals to consider
- that you may be killing another human being, then you won't feel much
- compelled to consider taking responsible action to keep the pregnancy
- from happening in the first place.
-
- Thank you for making me aware how morally low people in this nation
- have sunk. I think I have just become much clearer in my stance on
- abortion.
-
- Elizabeth, don't let these hypocrites twist your thoughts about the
- subject. It is refreshing to find young people who use their brains
- rather than their genitals to make important decisions in their lives.
