- Hmm. I gotta wonder just what part Mr. Holtsinger figures is cheap
- emotionalism. Is the seizing of a human being's rights in favor of a
- perhaps-but-we-aren't sure somehow an incorrect assessment of the
- situation? That someone would reduce a living breathing human-with-
- human-rights to something less -- is that a *misrepresentation* of what
- is being proposed?
-
- I'm not exactly sure what language would please Mr. Holtsinger (not that
- I really want to know) when used to express the incredible unbelieveable
- injustice of making a human something less than a human. After all, there
- is *no question* with regard to the woman.
-
- In my mind, at least.
