- I know. I have the same problem with your posts.
-
- Generally speaking, I was flaming some git for predetermining how 'good'
- the information 1.5 million women per year had.

- Well, assuming for the sake of this question that "all they would like to
- know" means in fact "all they are willing to put forth their effort to
- know", then I'd say damned near 100%. The information about birth and
- pregnancy and abortion isn't *hidden* anywhere. You just have to put
- forth some effort to find it.

- On what grounds? Upon *what* ground exactly would you diagnose the ignorance
- of 1.5 million people that you don't even KNOW?!?!
-
- On what evidence do *you*, Peter, decide that these doctors, who pass the
- SAME STANDARDS of testing and conduct as your pediatrician, are agents of
- the underworld forcing poor innocent and defenseless women into shameful
- sinful actions they would *never* freely undertake themselves? (Heck, you
- started the satire....)
-
- I just must be missing something here. *I* can get the information. Any
- woman I know can get the information, but somewhere out there in the world
- there are hoards of women who CANNOT and who must be *saved* from the
- unscrupulous, money hungry ABORTIONIST who *refuse* to answer simple
- questions.
