- Too bad. Eric was going to debate me on philosophy and even gave me a
- warning about what a dragon he was. Maybe I scared him off when I closed
- a response to an e-mail message of his by saying that in the computer game
- now known as "Original Adventure," I vanquished the dragon the day after
- I first encountered it, and that he (Eric) would undoubtedly hold off
- longer, but the truth would triumph in the end. "Be forewarned," was
- my closing comment, echoing him. Looks like all this was a self-defeating
- prophecy. Where's the fun in vanquishing a dragon who won't fight?

- Oh, they support the rights all right (with the possible exception of
- pro-abort Adrienne Regard), it's just that they can't be bothered with
- making it easier for women to make those other two choices, and some
- like Ms. Birmingham and Mr. Blackshaw [who may be pro-aborts themselves,
- but I don't have enough evidence on them yet to make a formal charge]
- do their best to emphasize the horrors of carrying to term.
-
- For that matter, they aren't all that supportive of women who choose
- to abort. I have yet to hear of any pro-choice groups helping women
- financially in re the abortion decision, the way Birthright and other
- pro-life crisis pregnancy centers do the women who choose to carry to term.
- Also, I do not know of any post-abortion support groups except pro-life
- ones such as WEBA, Project Rachel, and many local ones.
