- You're free to conclude that if you choose. Most people *do* see
- a moral difference. However, I see no point in attempting to
- convince *you* that a moral difference exists; you still haven't
- admitted that Susan Garvin satisfactorily provided a crucial
- difference between a late-term fetus and a neo-nate.

- Note, however, that just because *you* believe there's no moral difference
- doesn't give you cause to lie and claim that *others* see no moral
- difference.
