? If pro-choice forces, the majority of this country, are not *EQUALLY* The majority of this country are uneducated about the subject. Pro-life activitists know more about fetal development and emotional trauma in general because they, i.e. we are in the trenches fighting, praying and working. ? exuberant about a woman's right to control her own body, a relative She can control her body but at times, she is not composed of a single individual. Pregnancy means more than one life! ? handful of single-minded zealots will seize their opportunity and Single-minded zealots abolished slavery. Single-minded zealots crusaded for Civil Rights. Single-minded zealots are fighting apartheid. Single- minded zealots are performing missionary work in South America. Single- minded zealots also crucified Christ. That is why I contemplated and consternated over my position on abortion before realizing that what I'm fighting for is good and right. I would do no less. ? stuff it down our throats. It's terrifying the havoc zealots can wreak Your perspective on what pro-lifers do is for you to deal with. If you want to call it "stuff it down our throats" then you deal with the mental anguish of that perception. My perspective is saving lives and fostering an attitude of love of life. ? when they focus their energy. We must beat back their repressive ? assault on reproductive rights. We're not talking about the ? hypothetical rights of hypothetical proto-persons--we're talking about ? *LIBERTY*. Love it or lose it. I seem to recall the phrase, "... liberty and justice FOR ALL ...". As members of society we naturally have to respect the common good. We cannot function in the U.S. society without giving up some freedom. We are not free to use drugs without paying the consequence. We are not free to restrict the sale of our houses to people based on race. We are not free to engage in unsafe practices on our property if it endangers our neighbors. We are not free to run red lights in our cars. We are not free to rape, rob or murder without paying the consequences. America was a pretty good place to live before Roe v. Wade, before contraception, etc. Outlawing abortions is not going to kill your reproductive rights. If you have any doubts whether a fetus is a living human being, outlawing abortion will say that you would rather err in favor of life than in favor of death. Can you say you have no doubt? ? -- ? *** *** ? JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ? ****** ****** 31 Jul 85 [13 Thermidor An CXCIII] ? ken perlow ***** ***** ?

Women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. What else can I think when he says that America was a pretty good place before legalized abortions and CONTRACEPTION? Are we to have no choice at all except pregnancy or abstinence? Marcia Bear
