- Of course not. We wanted the pregnancy to end. Barbara had spent most
- of the pregnancy teetering on the brink of contracting toxemia and her
- physical energy was 'way down. Finally her ob/gyn asked her, "I think
- it's about time to put an end to all this misery, don't you?" We readily
- agreed, and the surgery was scheduled for that afternoon.
-
- Say, Steve, maybe it's about time you stop masquerading as a concerned,
- loving pro-lifer and embrace the label you've earned: frothing bigot
- and ignoramus. I've separated each of the questions you've spewed below
- to make it easier for others to flame you. As for me, I couldn't be
- bothered.

- I would indeed feel like hell if you ever managed to fool anyone in this
- newsgroup that you were a concerned, loving pro-lifer.

-
- Thank you for your utterly insincere expression of sympathy. I'd flush
- it away but I'm afraid that it would clog the pipes.
