- I didn't want to say I was pro-choice since that would have got
- in the way of what I wanted to know. It was a mistake to the
- point some people went off the deep end.
-
- Now, before I start again I would like to apologise for glossing
- pregnancy over or understating the chemical rollercoaster; or as
- Crusty would like me to put it:
- 'Oops. I guess there is more to pregnancy than inconvenience'.
- Allthough this was not my original point it was still wrong.
- Remind me to ignore female friend's stories.
-
- I still think there was no excuse for that gross posting. A
- pointed argument would have sufficed.

- What is it, other than the pregnancy itself, that scares women
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- into abortion?
-
- One reason I suggested was shame.
- Were there no shame, would the number of abortions decrease?
-
- Another I was thinking of (what I wanted someone else to say) was
- the prospect of having to give up a career etc since the mother
- is usually the one who has most of the home duties to attend to.
-
- I ask that if bio-parents were not forced to raise the children,
- then would the number of abortions decrease? However, it is usually
- part of religion that the bio-parents have to raise them and
- so would not be reasonable whilst lunacy still kept 4billion
- people enthralled.
-
- Allowing and not-worrying are two totally separate things. Only
- some kind of mental case does not want the number of abortions
- reduced but it still remains her choice.
