- I have to believe that poor Sue is delusional or attempting to appear
- ignorant in order to discredit the forced pregnancy side of the issue.
- Abortion is neither murder nor a crime; it is quite legal. Her
- paranoid fantasy about judges needs to be expanded to include police,
- prosecutors, etc. I hope she recovers soon.

- Abortion serves to remove an unwanted entity from using the resources
- of a legal person that does not want their bodily resources used. In
- that sense it is analogous to removing a tumor. Sue seems to be
- arguing that the cause of the condition is relevant to whether or not
- the state should intervene to prevent its treatment. I find no
- sensible justification for such use of scarce state resources.
