-
- "I was wondering if there would be any interest
- in a moderated abortion newsgroup. There are
- so many personal attacks and insults thrown
- around on talk.abortion that I thought it might
- be appropriate to have a newsgroup dedicated to
- calm and serious discussions of the issues."

-
- i would think that if you're offering to moderate a
- newsgroup, you might want to read the proposal for that
- newsgroup so you'd know what you agreed to moderate.
-
- -> and I'm not perfectly objective on the abortion
- -> issue.
-
- i don't believe that anyone has ever suggested that you
- were.

- "For the woman, I'd support a jail sentence of at least a
- month, probably somewhat more, (six months to a year if
- we had unlimited space in non-hellhole prisons, but we
- don't), with hefty community service tacked on to that."
