- Doug, I know you've heard this before, but: try not to be so stupid.
-
- Both of us know damn well that a lot of people would be gravely harmed
- by the arbitrary killing of infants. Any possible gain of allowing
- such is far outweighed by the definite and significant costs. However,
- in the case of abortion (and especially early abortions), the gains of
- allowing abortions (probably) outweighs the costs.
-
- As for the infanticide bullshit: knock it off. You know it's
- dishonest and it clearly is nothing more than petty name calling. By
- continuing to repeat the same old slanders you're only damaging
- yourself and your cause.
-
- Grow up.
