- Not an enormous problem for me, either. That _was_ my position when I
- first went from pro-choice to pro-life, and though it's not my
- position now, I do make it a practice not to alienate people whose
- stand allows for hard cases.
-
- If that compromise were forced upon us tomorrow, 95% of all abortions
- would be illegal in a minute, because rape & incest make up, at most,
- 5%.
