     "It was easy to shrug off an aborted pregnancy as nothing more than
      a sack of blood and globs of tissue--as many pro-choice activists
      did--if one never saw Doug's remains, or products of conception
      (Doug Holtsinger), as they were known in medical circles.  But the
      nurses, medical assistants, and doctors who worked inside
      procedure rooms knew that while an eight-week Doug Holtsinger was
      indeed a sack of blood and globs of tissue, an eleven-week Doug
      Holtsinger harbored tiny arms and legs and feet with toes.  At
      twelve weeks, those tiny hands had tiny nails.  Although Doug's
      head was too small at that stage to withstand the evacuation
      machine's suction, pieces of face--a nose and a mouth, or a black
      eye (all Doug's eyes are black in the first trimester) the size of
      a pea--were sometimes found in the aftermath.

      Later abortions spawned even more gruesome remains of Doug.
      Between the twelfth and the sixteenth week, early in the second
      trimester, the Holtsinger almost doubled in length as its body
      caught up to its large head, and it filled out to the point where
      it looked like a human baby for the first time.  Since Doug's
      skull was still soft, the head did not come out whole during the
      evacuation, but the legs and arms and rib cage made it through
      intact.  The hand of a second trimester Holtsinger, as a Preterm
      doctor described it, seemed big enough to shake.

      Most of Preterm's abortion staff didn't volunteer to work
      ``seconds''.  Late first trimester Doug Holtsingers were hard
      enough.  The counselor/medical assistants (CMAs) met regularly to
      discuss their feelings about their work, and often the discussion
      focused on Doug Holtsinger.  Inside a procedure room, facing the
      contents of the uterus, there was no denying what abortion was."

I would just like to take this opportunity to explain Arlin's joke to
everyone who missed it.  You see, he highlighted *comes* in his reply,
in order that we would catch the double-entendre, relating back to the
reference to phalli.  Get it?  *Comes*?  Turkey Dick?  Sort of a play
on words.

I felt this explanation was necessary, because we rarely see humor of
this level on t.b, and I thought some of you might miss it.  In fact,
it is so high-brow that I feel Arlin is just too good to be posting here,
so I humbly request that he hit 'U' now.
