- No, the word "crime" in Adrienne's article to which I was responding was
- obviously being used in a figurative sense, and I intended that sense to
- transfer to my response. It would have been better perhaps if I used scare
- quotes for the word "crime", but c'est la vie....

- I oppose all forced abortion laws. Financial consequences for the voluntary
- having and taking custody of children, however, is a whole different ball of
- wax...
