- What you mean *perhaps*? If the number didn't go down I would be extremely
- surprised.
- First of all, you are missing the fact that lots of women vote. Lots of
- women support Pro-choice. IF you want to get laws changed, then you'd
- best better start getting some women on your side. Seems that you have
- no interest in that. Seems you might get a clue that being incredibly
- hostile doesn't get you anything except enemies who would be more inclined
- to fight anything you came up with just because they don't like you.

- And if the Pro-lifers get their way, there would be millions more children
- born every year, more needing to be supported, more on welfare, thus
- increasing our taxes, more abused and neglected children, thus making
- it necessary to put more kids in foster care. More men taken to court
- to pay child support. Your logic totally escapes me.
