-
- He implied that muffy was saying that abortion was a great or glorious
- option, since no one else said anything positive about it in the thread,
- he quoted muffy as saying that it was a reasonable alternative, and then
- he came back saying that it wasn't great or glorious. If he was
- interjecting his personal opinion there, and not interpreting what she
- had to say, he should make it clear.
-
- Abortion *is* a perfectly fine way of dealing with an unwanted
- pregnancy, perhaps even "great", if you're desparate, but I don't think
- that many would call it "glorious."
