- And sometimes people fail to use logic at all. I have seen the first
- statement presented as an attempt to dissuade people from getting
- an abortion. I see no logical difference between the first,
- second and third statement. What difference do you perceive between
- these statements?

- Perhaps I am being silly. I would suggest that you show how I am
- being silly, rather than simply assert it.
