- poor DODie, while trying to flame me, he makes my point
- when he writes:

- i'll guess that DODie left this part in because he
- think's it's entertaining to see text repeated when
- that text shows how kebbie fails to support yet another
- false statement.
-
- ->Here's one example of the "other Extremists" that Mr. Darcy was
- ->talking about, who disqualifies others from using the label "pro-choice".
-
- -> "that is why i thought it important to point out
- -> that you are not, in fact, pro-choice as you do not oppose
- -> legislation to restrict a woman's right to an abortion during the

- (pssst dodie -- the quote you used above was written to
- siren, not ms. bartley, heh)
-
- great quote DODie! where does it disqualify anyone from
- using any label they want to use? it looks to me like
- the quote refers to positions, not labels.
-
- you might be interested in another quote where we do
- discuss labels though (and this one was written to ms.
- bartley):
-
- "i don't see how you could gracefully bail out now.
- so, if you wish to call yourself pro-choice while
- supporting legislation to restrict abortion, do so.
- i think you should tell every person you tell you're
- pro-choice that you support legislation to restrict
- abortion."
- <1992May28.004322.12977@crd.ge.com>
-
- heck dodie, if you're so interested in labels for ms.
- bartley, why don't you take her at her word?
-
- "My position wrt abortion is in between the 'pure'
- pro-life position and the 'pure' pro-choice position
- and as such shares many problems with both of those
- positions."
- <1992Jun2.170437.13057@midway.uchicago.edu>
-
- given ms. bartley's statement and her support for
- anti-choice legislation as well as prison terms for the
- women who have abortions, i think ms. bartley's stance
- is quite clear. don't you?
-
- you go right ahead though and keep discussing her
- position if you want. i know she asked you not to do so
- but, heck, you're helping her out, right? and i can see
- why you ignore her judgement.
