   Easy - that emphasis should be placed on supplemental financial aid
from the government. There is not sufficient finances from the government 
to provide women to stay home to care for their children. This support 
should be increased.

   Geek - REAL women is a group here in Canada and I consider them to be
"feminists with morals". They support pro-life, independence, and religion
ALL in one mouthful. Equal pay for equal work is justified morally
and socially. Their argument may be that by discouraging women from working,
they stay home with the children, but I feel this is unjust. IN any case,
the major Canadian groups that I am familiar with are for equality in
all directions. Equality between male and female, and equality for the
fetus.

   I'm not sure what the K of C is... But in any case, I pay for murder.
You pay for what you consider to be a bunch of bible-slapping ninnies.
I think that I am being forced to pay for the more severe occurence.
I bet you see it this way too, but you'll inevitably post against it.

   You put a woman who is stressed financially under a decision of abortion,
and in a moment of heat, many will make choices that they are not proud of
in teh future. If you give them proper education and decision we will most
likely LOWER the number of abortions, which is what I would like to see.
Many people sell their soul to the devil without thinking because of pressures
placed on them.

>Steve, nice .sig!   NOT!
   What are you trying to imply? I've gotten lots of notes from people
who get a good laugh from it. Oh yes, I forgot. Since I don't agree
with you , you should put down everything I say instinctively. Sorry...

You forgot a couple of parts though:
                                             #define CURTIS "anus"
                                             #include <dunce_cap.h>
