- I cancelled my original article less than a minute after I put it up,
- Patrick, because I was in a bad mood when I posted it and I said some
- things which could be interpreted as flames. I'm not sure how it
- still got out to your site, but what's done is done.
-
- One thing I'll say in my defense, though, for those readers who
- somehow got the article: There's a difference between clueless newbies
- who parade around this newsgroup saying "ab0rtion is murder" and reply
- to every single thing a pro-choicer says by parroting those words over
- and over again, and considerate pro-lifers who believe that abortion
- is murder but can back up their opinions by responding considerately
- to pro-choice arguments. (As in, "I know you feel that abortion
- should be allowed because _____, but I still believe that the reasons
- to protect a fetus are more important than the reasons you give to
- take its life because _____.")
-
- I encourage considerate discussion with pro-lifers. I don't like it
- when people assume some morally superior attitude, though. You seem
- reasonable, Patrick; I look forward to debating with you. :)
