You're absolutely right!  Some of us want that law overturned! ;^ • Anyway, I'm
not trying to start an abortion debate...only making my voice heard.

Yes indeed.  It would be a terrible shame if women retained sovereignty
over their own bodies.

I cringe at the thought of the lengths of a thread encompassing an • abortion-
debate.  I made my abortion comment because I do not want this forum to be • a
place where "minority" or dissenting viewpoints (such as mine) are not
tolerated.  For my part, I will be glad to debate this issue to the nth • degree,
although I doubt that it shall serve to change any minds on either side. • Thus
said, I will reply to you in brief:

While it is true that a woman may do as she pleases with her own body, it • does
not therefore follow that she may do as she see's fit with her baby's • body.  If
a conception is the result of an un-coerced freely-made consent to sexual
intercourse, then, yes, a woman's sovereign control of her body must • indeed be
limited by the right of the life within her to exist and grow to the • maturity of
personhood and sentience which are latent within that new life.  That's my • two-
dollar bill.
