The government has no business getting involved in what is essentially a religious issue. The "Pro-Life" people are trying to generate Federal legislation designed to force *their* religious beliefs on the whole country. It won't work. We have a whole generation of women who've grown up knowing they have the right to a legal abortion if they want one. (Imagine trying to take away our right to vote?!) Besides, the Pill is technically an abortificant. Why don't the "Pro-Life" people try to outlaw that as well? ssc-vax!ginger

The pill is not an abortificant; it works by preventing ovulation. There is good reason to suspect the IUD may be one, but no one really knows how it works. -- -Liz Allen ...!seismo!umcp-cs!liz (Usenet) liz.umcp-cs@Udel-Relay (Arpanet)
