- Ah. This I take issue with. If you throw up more obstacles to the process
- than there already are, you're blocking even those women whom you have
- admitted (grudgingly) have a valid reason to want an abortion. Further, it's
- simply unfair, and there aren't any clinics I'm aware of that only perform
- abortions in any event. You might want to rethink this.

-
- Yep. People get tetchy when you tell them to choose the lesser of two
- evils and then blame them for choosing an evil in the first place.
- Further, adults have the freedom to define responsibility in terms of
- their own priorities.

- I'll look forward to it.
