- Uh, Dan, it was just a question. What if no one takes the
- responsibility for a newborn person? That's an interesting
- question. And who said anything about whether I (or anyone else)
- is "willing to make any sacrifice"? What if I'm willing - but unable -
- to make the necessary sacrifice? The child can be killed under these
- circumstances, right? The intriguing aspect of this debate
- is the ramifications of the various views of personhood.
- Whether it's any of my business or not... Well, Dan, this is
- talk.abortion. BTW, ask me if I'm willing to make sacrifices
- for an unwanted child. Maybe I'll answer, "What makes you think
- it is any of your business?" And maybe I won't.
