- Please spare me this rather patronising treatment, Michal.
-
- If *I* wanted to patronise *you*, I could have said THIS, a very long time
- ago:
-
- "it's not a dearth of procreation that's bugging the Pro-Choice people.
- It's a reluctance to BEAR their progeny". (as though it's somehow your
- RESPONSIBILITY to do so ; *that* is how I view your treatment of *us*)
-
- And notice how you can squirm out of one of the above, but we CAN'T squirm
- out of another, and all because of this little technicality about "foetuses"
- not being "persons" requiring any sort of respect or consideration, until
- that magical moment when they are no longer "foetuses," before which time
- they are your sole property, to be disposed with as you please.
