- That is an appropriate way to view the situation if it is accepted
- that abortion is an acceptable way to handle a pregnancy and the only
- question is whether to choose it in the particular situation. Of
- course, not everyone looks at things that way. From the pro-life
- point of view, you might as well say that a dispute between those who
- do and those who don't want to forbid torturing cats to death for fun
- depends on whether the owner or some interfering do-gooder is best
- qualified to decide how to handle the situation in which cat owners
- find themselves.
