   I'm not going to start this argument again because pro-aborters are
   thoroughly incapable of understanding it.  Basically, your definition
   of life is dependent solely upon place of residence.  

That's curious -- I wasn't talking about my definition of life.  See what
happens when you try to tell me what I'm arguing?

   There is a difference in technical definition, not in the value of the
   life in question.  Stating that unborn babies have equal rights to life
   as adults is hardly an outburst.  

Neither is it a statement of fact -- it's nothing more (or less) than your
opinion.  Think you can grep that?

  It amazes me how Patrick can be so smug about failing completely to establish
  any logical refutation of my statements.

Why should I, when you're doing it yourself?
