- Michael, with all due respect, you have no idea whereof you speak.
- Read the foreword to _Aborted Women, Silent No More_. It details
- Nancyjo Mann's descent into a psychological inferno having nothing
- to do with brainwashing and everything to do with holding her dead
- 5-and-a-half months' gestation daughter after feeling her death throes for
- two solid hours as its lungs and skin were burned by a salt solution
- so potent that when a bit of it leaks outside the uterus, the woman
- will throw herself on the bed and scream with agony. These leaks
- can be fatal, too.
-
- Larry Margolis can send you a photocopy of this foreword that I
- copied and mailed to him at my expense. He obviously has no use for it.
