I was going to ignore this because it is impossible to have an argument with someone who decides what you are saying and thinking, and effectively leaves you out of the discussion. However, in case someone thinks I said "aborting a fetus is OK", I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT, ADVOCATED OR SAID THIS. I have almost always signed my statements, encouraged others to speak out, and I protest the Iraq War on a walker on a public street corner every 2 weeks, but I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THINGS I NEVER SAID or arguments I never made. MARY ANN RYAN, WHY DO YOU PRESUME TO ISSUE SUCH STATEMENTS USING MY NAME to give others a false impression of my position?
