- Yes, and by seeking an abortion, the woman IS taking responsibility for
- her actions, and life too. No woman I've known who has had an abortion
- did it lightly or frivolously - the seriousness of the matter was very
- much in their minds.
-
- When you write "accept responsibility for your own actions" you seem to
- really mean "be punished by my simplistic moral standards".
