- I guess you missed the part where it says 'and the issue of abortion'
- Kebbin. Or are you now prepared to present evidence of a law which
- prohibts the abortion of a non-human species?
-
- I notice you're still hiding (via delete) from admitting that you make
- incorrect word choices, and then try to rationalize it. Are you going
- to hold yourself to the same standrds of 'tight' language as others,
- or are you going to admit you're a hypocrite, orare you going to admit
- you made a mistake?
- I predict you'll try to weasle out ofthe question, probably by
- deleting this portion of the article.
