- Did you see Susan Garvin's response to that statistic? She
- explains that the quotation refers to a specific sample from
- a group called Women Exploited by Abortion. This sounds more
- than a little like a biased sample, and honesty should make
- you admit it.

- As for the "buck to make," this has been argued here endlessly.
- To repeat some of the salient points from the past, birthing
- is far mor elucrative than abortion, many of the staff at
- Planned Parenthood are volunteers, much of their services are
- offered on a sliding scale that reduces costs for those who
- are poor, and if doctors get paid to do abortions that is
- no more evil than their getting paid to do other medical
- procedures.
