assistant: Thna maybe you should go back to high school and learn some basic definitions
and honesty.
"chopped up, tortured, and mutilated"... is what I believe you said about
abortions.  You are totally removed from the truth.
The art of torture is intended to inflict pain for vicious reasons, like
pulling out fingernails with pliers, sticking pins in one's eyes, or igniting
a
tire that is around someones neck to have the flaming melting rubber drip
own
the victims body.
Mutilation is the intentional destruction of a body.  Abortion does not seek
to
do that.  It simply removed the fetus from it's support environment and let's
it
die.
Chopped up,...   again, unless you have a real savage for a doctor, there is
no
destruction of the fetus unless there is an autopsy.  The fetus is disposed
n
the same way as other removed and dead body parts are, typically incinerated.
If you are totally against legal abortion, they you are promoting the vary
concepts your are touting.  If it were not for the safe and clean
nvironemnts
for women to have abortions, then they will go to the alley-way "hospitals"
where the baby will be mutilated, torutred, and chopped up with unclean tools
and coat hangers.  Is this what you promote?  I repeat the accusation, you
re
sick and disgusting.
You are dishonest because you choose not to requote your idiotic remark which
caused the response in the first place.

I've seen a lot of neighborhoods where the neighbors could care less
about your alarm going off due to apathy.  I've seen neighborhoods
where neighbors are accustomed to hearing your alarm false and
therefore think nothing of it when a real alarm occurs.  Years ago, I
had a service station owner on my patrol.  When he got burglarized, I
suggested to him that he get an alarm.  He refused.  Shortly
afterward when I stopped by his place he produly showed me his two
doberman guard dogs that were going to protect his place.  About a
week later I responded to a burglary call and found a much embarrassed
service station owner who had been burglarized.....and had his guard
dogs stolen (or possibly run off?).
Suggestion:  Learn how to secure your home and your possessions; and
learn how to protect yourself.

assistant: As far as I know, this program is managed by volunteers, just like many other
citizen  groups. You might compare it to Neighborhood Watch. The police will
support and assist, but this is a citizen group, run by citizens. I would not
consider either to be a government run program. The program either works and
survives with the actions of citizens, or it fails and dies by the same
means.

assistant: In the words of Leo Savage (gisted, not quoted)
   Put 2 waiting rooms in all places where birth planning, including abortion
is available - one for the expectant mothers, and one fr the demonstrators
outside, so that both can wait in comfort.  The demonstrators can spend the
time filling out the adoption paperwork, and meeting the mother of their next
child.  One by one, the demonstrators get to show their faith and the moral
strength of their arguments, and the expectant mothers get an option that
lets
them sleep at night.

assistant: I had an unlisted number for a while for security reasons. Several years ago
started getting calls on my telephone and a hang up as soon as I answered.
he
frequency of the calls gradually increased, and one week when we went away
skiing for three days, our house was broken into.  The kids were caught, and
the phone calls stopped. Having my name, address and phone number from the
phone book, they were able to monitor our house and determine that we were
away for a while. If your friends and relatives need your number, you can
always give it to them yourself.
Now that we have call display I can see who is calling.
If you are worried about your friends and relatives getting hold of you, you
can always give them your number personally.
That was one of the best things about it. We used to get a lot of telephone
soliciting. That dropped to almost zero with an unlisted number.
