  20.     Since abortion *is* legal, a more accurate statement would
  21.     make the point clear that the "preoccupation" (a loaded term,
  22.     leading one to suspect the wielder has no potent arguments)
  23.     is with keeping other groups from making abortion *illegal*
  24.     again.  There's no argument from me that resources would be
  25.     better spent on support systems for pregnant women, if those
  26.     anti-abortion forces were no longer at work (I'm strongly 
  27.     against government involvement in forced childbirth).
