Well, Brad, since you apparently think your beliefs are irreducible primaries, not to be analyzed or discussed, there is no point in discussing them with you. So would you please go away, so as to stop wasting your time and ours? It's clear that no one else is going to convince you of anything, since you've already made up your mind, and it's equally clear that repeating "It's true because I believe it" isn't going to help either.

Will you ever be convinced that abortion is murder? If not, shouldn't you leave? Or is this only a forum for converting people who foolishly believe that abortion is wrong to change their ways and allow it? (note the sarcasm) Why should you have any more right to discuss here than I? Going on to the question of when life begins. If it does not begin at conception, then when does it begin? At birth? When a child is 5 years old? When he/she can fully care for himself/herself? What does life consist of? This is the foundational question, and the reason why a loose belief in regards to human life before physical birth leads to infant killing and euthenasia(sp?). Brad

In regard to Brad Andrews, I don't think he should stop posting "because he has no right to speak", nor "because he states absolutes". I think he should stop posting because his articles are boring. They always say the same thing, in the same way and in the same tone. It's like having a global constant "BradAndrews = AntiAbortionist"... something you can hold on to in these troubled times! I also think that he should get (and use) a dictionary. Above all, avoid unnecessary superfluous repitition CD Shaw

OK, show me how you do not say the same thing over and over? I just try to respond to what has been written, can I help it if it is often the same, or similar argument? Brad

"Repitition" was caused by a close cousin of the typo known as the "braino"... I guess I'll have to fire the offending neurons. Note the red face enclosed... CD Shaw

By the way, one thing this system needs in is the ability to edit notes. I just noticed an error in one I entered(it looked fine in vi) and tryed to -e- edit it, and I couldn't, sigh. Brad
