- It would be nice if pro-choicers did the same, and directed the
- women to appropriate medical help and support groups. But it
- seems that "pro-choice" only applies to before the fact, and not
- after the fact.

- "Supposedly"? I'll post some more from it, and let readers judge

- Isolated incidents don't concern these authorities, I'm sorry

- Gee, I'll have to have my wife give the number a call. They never
- ask me whether my girlfriend or wife had an abortion.

-
- Lucky guess? or did she use the word abortion, and the context was
- misunderstood?
