- To borrow from a pro-abort in this group who seems to love the
- heart-surgery analogy: a pregnant woman being pro-abortion is no different
- than a heart patient being pro-heart surgery. What's the problem? Most
- would gladly accept that label. Unless, of course, you're just a wee bit
- uneasy with the concept of abortion. A hint of concsience maybe?
