  20. Of course, 'responsibility' or 'taking'/'accepting' responsibility implies
  21. one actually has a choice in the matter.  Were the government to force one
  22. and only one outcome upon women, how can they be said to have 'accepted'
  23. responsibility?
  24.  
  25. The women who make choices about their lives, be it to remain abstinent,
  26. to use birth control, to abort and/or to bear a child *are* taking
  27. responsibility.  Those who flap in the breeze, with an 'oh well!' at 
  28. every unforseen occurance aren't taking any responsibility.
