- Forgach, you are simply laughable. Here you imply that the only possible
- way of helping a pregnant woman is through some sort of ill-defined
- "abortion alternative agency". Rigid little world you must live in.

- In fact, Forgach, I have done both of these as well as many other
- things to help pregnant women who need it. I don't make a habit
- of broadcasting my actions across the net.
-
- You are simply unable to comprehend the meaning of "pro-choice".
- I support the choices women make without questioning their motives
- to make sure that _their_ motives meet with _my_ approval. There are
- a lot of women that I think would be better off not having babies.
- But if they choose to do so, I just don't figure it's my business
- to question their motives. Likewise, when I find that a loving,
- caring woman has had an abortion, I don't say "Why on earth did
- you do that???? I think you'd make a WONDERFUL mother!" Cause I
- just don't figure it's my business why someone chooses to become
- a parent or not. And I don't figure it's anyone else's business
- why I made my choices, either.
-
- >Do it!
-
- I already have, more than once. Seems you're looking pretty nasty
- and silly, yet again.
