- Of COURSE it's not the issue for you! YOU'll never have to carry a
- fetus. You've shown time and again that you'd be perfectly happy
- putting women at risk ("better off dead" ring any bells?) for the
- sake of a bunch of nameless fetuses, MOST of whom you will never
- know a damn thing about. Tell me Nyikos, when you make blanket
- statements about when you would and would not "permit" abortions,
- do you ever think that it may be your mother, or sister, or wife
- that faces this risk of permanent disability you would happily
- mandate for those nameless women out there?
-
- For most of us on the pro-choice side, the health and happiness
- of this "location" of the fetus is our #1 concern.
