- This is a short companion piece to "The PAS of Nancyjo Mann, founder of
- WEBA," Part 1 of which was posted a few minutes ago. The title of this
- thread is based on _The Closing of the American Mind_, by Alan Bloom,
- and by "Terrible. Close. Mind.", a thread begun by Frank O'Dwyer expressing
- his frustration with the closed-mindedness he perceived in Larry Margolis.

- What follows is a copy of an old post, as you can see.

- If a pro-lifer dared to talk this way about the victims of ILLEGAL
- abortions, especially in the years when almost all abortions were
- illegal, he/she would be flamed so badly, his/her credibility in
