>I still don't know why you insist that the common usage of the word "child" is a forbidden utterance from the lips of a pro-abort. Just kidding, I do know why - keep those undecideds distracted! My Webster's 9th lists the "unborn" in the first definition of "child". I know, Merriam-Webster is run by a bunch of commie-mouth-foaming fetus-freaks.

Dictionary definitions abound for all sides. I tend to go by the ones
I get out of embryology, obstetric, and neonatology texts. Since we're
dealing with a medical and personal issue, the medical definitions do
seem to be in order.

Since I suspect Muriel is capable of reading the un-butchered words

You did. Of course, you deleted it, and will now deny it. Typical of
what we expect from you monkey boy

>You haven't proven that untrue yet, Mark. I wasn't the one who first claimed that if abortion is made illegal women will begin to die in droves. No, this is a common pro-abort line. There is not a single bit of proof that this will be the case. Show me.

It has been shown, many times. You've just managed to ignore it. Are
you going to claim (like PHoney) that your server is dead and not
receiving the articles? Or are you goin to just ignore the facts
presented?
BTW Monkey boy. Learn how to use an editor. It will keep your lines
from being broken in mid-word. This will keep them legible. I have no
hope thta they will ever become intelligable, but legible will be a
nice start.
