Egads! You stone-cold made the absolutely most blatant error of logic
known to manki... no, too sexist... _HUMAN_kind! 

You use statements by your own troops, to justify claims against
pro-lifers! That is the ancient fallacy of begging the question. 

For your information, why is it that there is now a gigantic National
Women's Coalition for Life, with 1.5 million members, sitting around
Capitol Hill right now? 

Why is it that Concerned Women for America, a pro-life women's group,
outnumbers the National Organization for Women, by 750,000 to 300,000?
Can you answer that question? 

Why is it that the majority of our big leaders, are female? Wanda
Franz: National Right to Life Committee... Judy Brown: American Life
League... Beverly LaHaye: Concerned Women for America... Rachel
McNair: Feminists for Life... The leader of the California Pro-Life
Council (of which I'm a member), is a woman. 

The National Abortion Rights Action League can't, in all its dislike
for bigotry, find an African American woman in its roster of leaders.
One of the earliest leaders of the National Right to Life Committee,
the largest defense America has against the anti-life movement, was
Mildred Fay Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate
from Harvard Medical School. If she were there now, Kate Michelman
would have retired. 

Everyone knows Mildred Jefferson is the best, because even Faye
Wattleton won't debate her.  

That and the majority of the pro-life movement is female. Or have you
checked on that lately? 

"All" our leaders aren't men. In fact, less than half are, and that
number's still shrinking.

Then why are they outnumbered, as I said above?

Why, because Ted Turner isn't putting out any more anti-life movies?
