- #You miss the point Ms. Garvin. When you vigorously denounce the
- #extremists on the pro-life side and try to ignore the extremists
- #on the pro-choice side such as Mr. Loomis, it makes you look a
- #little hypocritical.
-
- No, you miss the point, Holtsinger. Did you denounce Buchanan's
- speech or didn't you?
-
- #I'm glad you can finally acknowledge the
- #existence of extremists on the pro-choice side, even though I had
- #to give you a little prodding.
-
- Don't be so quick to take the credit, DOD. I responded to
- Steve Novak. Do you think that you're Steve Novak now?
-
- I don't call Loomis "an extremist on the pro-choice side,"
- because of his feelings about euthanasia or infanticide,
- by the way. "Pro-choice" generally refers to the opinion
- that the abortion decision should be left up to the pregnant
- woman. It has nothing to do with euthanasia or infanticide.
-
- I referred to Steve as an extremist because he is not willing
- to compromise away a woman's right to choose. I share his
- feelings. (I'm also an extremist on other issues - why do
- you think that being an extremist is bad?)
-
- #I hope to see you continue to acknowledge the extremists on the
- #pro-choice side. Now, here's your chance to do just that:

- # "My logic is based on ... a religious perspective which says
- #that personhood begins at birth (actually a month after birth if
- #we want to be precise)..."

- # chief executive, Planned Parenthood of Central and Northern Arizona
-
- I see nothing extreme or reprehensible about this statement. Why
- does Judaism bother you so?
