-
- Sure you can! But killing someone because he's using your money is
- like a woman committing genocide on the entire male gender because
- she's pregnant: it's overkill.
-
- If you don't want me to use your money, then just ask me to stop using
- it, or try to prevent me from using it, or if that doesn't work, have
- the police arrest me. If a woman doesn't want a fetus to use her
- body, then she just removes it from her body. Is there any less
- severe action that will achieve the desired result in either case?
-
- Really, Jeffrey. If you can't see my point, even at least a glimmer
- of it, then I'd start worrying if I were you. You don't seem as
- single-minded as you've been coming across as being in some of your
- posts; I'd like to believe there's a rational thinker in you.

-
- I've said this time and time again. I'll try one last time.
-
- What if the woman didn't know that she could get pregnant? Can't you
- think of some scenario where this might be the case?
-
- What if she wanted the child, but something traumatic happened in
- mid-pregnancy to make her unable or unwilling to continue?

-
- Over and over again, you just don't see our points.
-
- Let me tell you what apparently you want to hear: "Abortions are
- performed by women who want to kill fetuses. They have no reason to
- kill these fetuses, but they do it anyway, even though fetuses are
- innocent."
-
- What's wrong with this statement, Jeffrey?

-
- Eeep... unintentional, I swear! But come to think of it, this
- newsgroup has more misconceptions in it than an abortion clinic...
