- No, it should be taken as representative of the people she has met.
- The only one who is projecting that to the "entire nation" is yourself
- when you complained that she was "pigeonholeing" all pro-lifers. She
- thought it was stated clearly enough that everyone would understand, but
- apparently she should have held your hand a bit more on it.

- It *is* a fact. In *her* experience ...[blah blah]... It may not mean
- much in terms of the whole population, but that doesn't make it an
- *opinion* or *incorrect*. (unless you know something about her experience
- that we don't???)
-
- Of course if you mean *true* facts, well maybe you should follow your
- own advice.
