I may be the newest *kid* on the list but I have to say something now. I take exception to anyone who tries to decide what is right or what is wrong on this issue. My state passed a liberal law which reflects both the federal law and what the voters here prefer. If it were my choice I would think twice before having an abortion, but I do not presume to decide what is best for another. Someone here said something about walking in their shoes. The same could be said here. No one could possibly understand the reasons that another chooses to do what they do or not. It is difficult enough to make our own day to day decisions. Maybe it is time to quit moralizing about something that isnt our business most likely....and who knows, maybe one of your loved ones might benefit from tissue that is there to use .. would any of you say no? ----- Original Message ----- From: Linnea M Proverbs <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 6:01 PM Subject: Re: Anti-Abortion Zealots > i am not afraid to admit I am anti-abortion, but it seems like a extreme > exaggeration to say that anti-abortionists kill doctors and blow up > clinics...yes, it happens, but we see what the media wants us to see.
