- Sure. I think anything that cuts down on the need for invasive medical
- procedures is a Good Thing[tm]. Note that cutting down on the NEED
- does not mean legislating against it, it means addressing the causes.

- Lookie here folks. Another twit who can't tell the difference between
- supporting the availability of all options for the pregnant women and
- encouraging them to choose one particular option.
- And from Penn 'the hell hole of the net' State no less.

- Of course, Kurt probably hasn't considered that addressing the
- *causes* of abortion (namely: unwanted pregnancies) will also bring
- down the birth rate, help with overpopulation, be safer then
- childbirth, and be safer then abortion as well.
- That would require a brain.
-
- Here's a free clue Kurt. I don't think brain surgery is wrong either,
- but I'd like to see less need for it. Who knows? If the neurosurgeons
- weren't so busy evacuating subdural bleeds, maybe they could work on a
- brain transplant for you. I hear they're doing wonders with simian
- transplants these days.

- Let me guess. You're a frosh, right?
