- Fair enough, although this means, in effect, that you're willing to
- turn your attention away from what you believe to be a few thousand *murders*
- per year. My point is that even if you would behave this way, it is highly
- unlikely that "75% of the pro-life movement" would follow suit.
- In any case, as I noted earlier, most pro-choicers (in my view) would
- agree with Ms. Bartley's original slogan. They just don't feel that the
- "rare and early" part is best achieved through the mailed fist of the State,
- thank you very much.
