- Oh Contrare Bill. First I have no trouble being in a minority.
- I'd rather be right and in a minority, than wrong and hanging
- with the crowd.
-
- Since I believe we should keep legislation out of this,
- I have no need to know much about medical diagnostics. I
- trust the medical professionals who have been trained to
- deal with it. However, since you and DOD do not trust
- the medical profession to make the determination, why
- don't you explain Adjustment Disorder and the diagnostic
- criteria for such. I also would love to hear how narrowly
- you and DOD plan on defining health risks to the woman
- that would allow her to get a legal abortion. Go for
- it big guy.
