- Kevin - your house of cards continues to tremor. You seem pestered by
- these attempts to pin you down on your sole criterion for favoring
- abortion. I suspect that the viability line is so comforting to you
- because it gives you an apparent 'logical' justification for your views,
- and more importantly, gives you enough time should you, or a loved one,
- find themselves in an unplanned state of impending parenthood.
