- Please explain to me how avoiding contraception or abortion is "hateful"?
- Unless living a successful, self-determined, life without them makes
- _other_ people resentful and envious. I assure you, that is not _my_
- problem. As you well know, I have posted many times where and how
- other people can learn to live successful, self-determined, lives
- without messing their bodies up with contraceptives or slaughtering
- their children with abortion.
