- That is something only the abortionists know, and they aren't about
- to tell you or me or any of the "million women" you talk about below.
-
- Food for thought: it is generally estimated that only one out of ten
- rapes is reported. And that's with laws that make rape a felony with
- up to 30 years imprisonment in force. How much smaller the percentage
- of forced abortions, when almost no one takes seriously the idea that it
- should also be a crime with similar penalties?

-
- I never advocated that. You obviously haven't been following my posts
- too closely. I would allow abortion for any reason up to five weeks after
- fertilization. Beyond the seventh week, I would allow it for very
- carefully circumscribed reasons. [This language sounds pretentious, I
- know; what I really mean is, those are the kinds of laws I would support.]

- Sorry, I can't figure out what you are saying here.
