Let me spell 'em out for you, clear as day:

Sure you can!  But killing someone because he's using your money is
like a woman committing genocide on the entire male gender because
she's pregnant: it's overkill.

If you don't want me to use your money, then just ask me to stop using
it, or try to prevent me from using it, or if that doesn't work, have
the police arrest me.  If a woman doesn't want a fetus to use her
body, then she just removes it from her body.  Is there any less
severe action that will achieve the desired result in either case?

Really, Jeffrey.  If you can't see my point, even at least a glimmer
of it, then I'd start worrying if I were you.  You don't seem as
single-minded as you've been coming across as being in some of your
posts; I'd like to believe there's a rational thinker in you.

I've said this time and time again.  I'll try one last time.

What if the woman didn't know that she could get pregnant?  Can't you
think of some scenario where this might be the case?

What if she wanted the child, but something traumatic happened in
mid-pregnancy to make her unable or unwilling to continue?

Over and over again, you just don't see our points.

Let me tell you what apparently you want to hear: "Abortions are
performed by women who want to kill fetuses.  They have no reason to
kill these fetuses, but they do it anyway, even though fetuses are
innocent."

What's wrong with this statement, Jeffrey?

Eeep... unintentional, I swear!  But come to think of it, this
newsgroup has more misconceptions in it than an abortion clinic...
