- holocaust? a comparison with the holocaust would
- imply genocide. taken literally, abortion is exactly
- the opposite. (well, not _exactly_)
-
- america gives the minority less of a chance for an abortion
- due to a lack of funding. the unborns being destroyed
- are only those that are carried by those with the means
- to do so. (aristocraticide, if what were actually
- happening were murder.)

- ok. some have sex knowing abortion is available and
- thinking they will use it if they get pregnant.
- yet they do get pregnant and end up having the baby.
- now how was that choice made before hand?
- how does it differ from anything else a woman
- or man thinks they will do before hand?
-
- i do not think the woman is pre-destined to
- have an abortion. thus it is a choice made
- when she chooses to have an abortion.
- i doubt anyone wants to get pregnant merely
- to have an excuse for an abortion.

- can you define birth?

-
- of course the man should be involved in the

- i think you are the one advocating control
- over other people's decisions and bodies.

- ah, that is touching. i am happy for you.
- please send us more of your thoughts.

-
- well...i still think you're wrong.
- but i like to think that we all make
