Doug, I had no idea you were taking my 75% ratio literally. Sorry about that.

That's like saying that the problem isn't robbery, its that other people have more stuff than me! And like saying that if you outlaw murder, people will still commit murders - you haven't solved anything. Sorry, but a societal recognition that human life begins at conception, and a general prohibition on abortion will certainly reduce the number of abortions from today's level. > I've got to say, I admire your tenacity.

Given how many people are dying, I sometimes wonder if I have any other choice. Or as the pro-choice Michael Kinsley recently put it: "sincere right-to-lifers deserve respect as that rarity in modern American politics: a strong interest group defending the interest of someone other than themselves." Thanks for the compliment. JDG _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
