- Unfortunately, it's true.
- However, it is _also_ true that many women are having abortions for
- financial and emotional reasons that are very important. Abortion-rights
- advocates don't want abortion to be used as a method for avoiding
- responsibility, but they (and I) believe that the *possibility* of
- abortion must remain open for those occasions when it may be the best
- choice.

- Like not leaving your home, so that no one will rape you? Oh wait, I forgot.
- Most rapes occur within the home, committed by someone the victim knows well.
- But of course, if someone is raped and gets pregnant or gets AIDS, it's her
- fault because she wasn't being responsible. I see.

- Just be sure never to change your mind again.
- It's a sign of moral weakness.
