CJ tries to equate medical care for a car accident to medical care for
a "conception accident", with some hilarity and lots of sarcasm.

Not that I don't agree with your cause, but the injury in the latter
case is entirely in the mind of the beholder. Except for a few Church
of Christ, Scientist fanatics, you don't find much disagreement over
whether the broken legs and depressed fractures of a car accident
constitute "injury", but you do find barrels, bushels, and jismloads of
disagreement over whether _any_ pregnancy constitutes an injury which
should be susceptable to medical treatment.

So, in fact, your input to the question just circles back to the main
point, which is that people of good will disagree on the very
fundamental idea of "curing" a pregnancy. No ground is thereby gained
on bringing the opposing viewpoints together, and so the argument rages
on interminably.

As most participants are there either for the love of arguing, or else
to bludgeon their opponents into accepting their viewpoint without any
thought of even considering, much less adopting any of the merits of
the opposing view, and few indeed there to move themselves and their
opponents _both_ to a newly discovered middle consensus ground, the
argument is likely to rage on a bit longer yet.

Gypsy pops a brick of frozen water into her cleavage and wonders
whether she can perfect this as part of a stage act for the next BOB.
As the next BOB is supposed to be an East Coast BOB, and as the East
Coast BOB is the BOB of another, higher plane of existance, you
probably have lots of time to practice. Having viewed said cleavage,
with considerable admiration, at long last: with a target that size you
have every chance of success at your quest.

St. Terri maunders on her chance of ever making her (already very
attractively proportioned) figure of slender enough dimension to fit
into a tank top worn belted as a dress, and Rick Kelly responds that
you never see those fems sit down once they accomplish same.

Constant reader suspects the truth is closer to this: fems viewing such
accomplishment ignore it out of raging jealousy, and so it goes
unreported. Males of sufficient age to notice, viewing such
accomplishment, expire immediately of ecstacy, and so again the
accomplishment goes unreported. This seems to be a case of a tree
falling unheard in an uninhabited forest, or deja vu all over again.

Just one of those moods.  I'll go back to DBASE3 coding now.
