quoth Terry Bassett:Ah, sir your rapier wit pierces me mightily. But have you not heard Ashcroft speeches to church groups, professing to stop abortions on religious grounds, or perhaps that sounds reseaonable to you. If the Government can rule over a womans belly then there really is no limit to their power. It is only a tiny step to watch your bedroom or your living room or your outdoor activities.
