- I won't wait because this is society's problem, not your bedroom problem.
- And, the original question was for society to offer an alternative to
- abortion - so, here it is.

- I really don't care what goes on in your bedroom, but as a member of this
- society I expect your to behave with responsibility when it comes to
- creating another member (and to not kill said member at your convenience).
