- If Patricia Ireland wants to abort her own body, I would not care, nor would
- I do anything to stop her. I wouldn't care to watch, but I would
- certainly agree that she should be allowed to abort herself if she wishes.
- You, on the other hand, seem to have a difficulttime comprehending the
- difference between what you do to your *own* body, and what is done to
- *another persons* body.

- Well, let's see -- besides the fact that you've got the parrot act down
- quite well, you seem to be having all sorts of trouble with the idea that
- people already born aren't said to abort their own bodies. There's already
- a much handier term available for that act: suicide. You also seem to be
- just the least bit unclear as to when a fetus becomes a person, which is
- what generates this whole dust-up in the first place...where do you draw the
- line, and why do you think the rest of us should be forced to accept your
- definition?

- Try not to post without engaging yoru brain,or at least your spelling checker.

- A shame you couldn't heed your own advice, isn't it?
