- Unfortunately everyone is not honest and these minor inconvience should be

- If you had not deleted some of the text that I was refering to it would have
- made sense.I was talking about 2 underage females I knew that got abortions and
- were not properley counseled about abortion.

- Again if you had not edited the relevant text my reply was to someone saying
- that there are people out there that believe you won't get pregnant if you
- don't swallow or if you didn't really enjoy or if its your first time.
- Yes I really do believe there are some people out there that don't know
- where babies come from, but this is a small minority and I was only
- reply to the person that replied to one of my articles.

- Again you edited out the relevant discussion earlier. We were talking about
- a woman who intentionaly got pregnant and then later decided she wanted
- an abortion.

- I have talked to women. I think you should find out more before making
- accusations. Most of my feelings about stricter abortion laws are based
- on my talks with these 2 young women. Unfortunately not all woman give
- the issue as much thought as the women you are talking about. So we have
- to make sure they know what they are doing.
