- Marks deletion of my post:
- ------------------
- "Nice "trick" question. Like, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
- The question pre-supposes the conclusion that
-
- 1) all rights by definition are inviolate
-
- 2) the rights of the unborn child will automatically conflict with the
- mother.
-
- 3) the pregnant woman has, by definition, higher priority rights than
- others.
-
- But, Heather, I'll grant you your question does have a noble ring to it.
- It plays well across the country. Keep up the double talk."

- You're right Mark, how silly of me to forget. Yes, I have stopped beating
- my wife.
