The question: Where are Sophie Quigley's arguments? Example. If pro-lifers put life in front of choice - which we do - and a particular pro-lifer happens to be a man - of which there are plenty - does that necessarily make us neantherdals? With your recent postings, I guess so. I could go on but the rest of the net who has been reading your postings can understand. If nothing else, your postings make me realize and appreciate how I was brought up. One of the greatest things about this country is our freedom; freedom to change and freedom to speak. There is a change coming in the hearts and in the laws of this country. I believe it and I also believe YOU will be part of that change.

No, if you had bothered reading my flame, you might have noticed that it was directed at the order of your points 4. and 5. which were women's rights to control their bodies (4) vs men's "right to procreate" (5). I didn't approach the topic of 3. (embryo's right to life) except to point out that if 3 came before 5 then there wasn't much point in bringing up topic 4. Who's being irrational here? >I could go on but the rest of the net >who has been reading your postings can understand. If nothing else, >your postings make me realize and appreciate how I was brought up. The rest of the net who has been reading ALL my postings understand me much better than you do. You might be interested to know that net.abortion was started on my behalf more than a year ago because I insisted on discussing the topic in net.women. I posted my arguments then. You haven't read them because you came later. I still have copies of those articles and can send them to you if you are interested. I will not, however, repost them because they were too long, and because I feel that I have made my point and should not monopolise this forum for myself, like i originally did. So, I have recently only posted very short articles adressing what I think are ridiculous issues brought up in net.abortion and that have nothing to do at all with abortion. Even though I have seriously flamed some people for some of the disgusting things they have said , my position on abortion is a moderate pro-choice. I recognise the humanity of "the ennemy" (even the men <-:) and I even admit that their points are valid. I just don't believe that the two views on abortion can be reconciled because I believe that they are both *right*, so I believe that compromises have to be made in that matter. >One of the greatest things about this country is our freedom; freedom >to change and freedom to speak. There is a change coming in the >hearts and in the laws of this country. I believe it and I also >believe YOU will be part of that change. (Was that a threat or what?) I won't be part of that change because I don't live in YOUR country. Check my address. There is a change coming in the laws of MY country too, but it is the opposite of the one in your country. I don't think there is any change going on in people's hearts though, just that the opposing groups are getting more vocal. I have absolutely no studies to back this up though, so don't bother asking me for references. -- Sophie Quigley {allegra|decvax|ihnp4|linus|watmath}!utzoo!mnetor!sophie
