My congressman is pro-life and he feels that this is the hold up with the money! I explained to him that is really doesn't matter that the law states that abortions are legal and when I pass away, I can donate my body to help save a life or for research for the future. Now, again abortions are legal! If you feel it is wrong then you need to change that law! Not the Udall bill! And since it is legal, why can't some good come from something that is so controversial? >> This is exactly right. I can't seem to understand why they think any woman would get pregnant, and have an abortion so it could be used for research. Get real, sometimes I wonder about people........This is like an organ transplant, as one doctor told us, 10 years ago, transplants were rare, now they are much more common. Any clue here????? Sorry, I am pro-life, catholic and a woman, lots of contradictions, right, wrong, the abortion policy does not even belong in politics, it's a moral question.... Gerry
