- We've all seen it many times, Doug. An ignorant opinion is no less
- ignorant for being published, and your repeating it ad nauseum does
- not make your claims any more valid. My challenge in my previous
- post, which you deleted, was:
-
- Given that there are only 3 doctors in the US that perform 3rd trimester
- abortions, and then only for medical reasons, it seems obvious to any
- reasonably intelligent observer that "abortion-on-demand throughout
- the term of pregnancy" is simply a myth.
-
- For you to claim otherwise, you'd have to document for us some
- third-trimester abortions for other than medical reasons.
-
- So, Doug, do you want to address the *reality* of the situation, or are
- you going to implicitly admit that you're wrong by continuing your scare
- tactics?
