assistant: Rich, about your response to Chris about the following:
Perhaps I should take some of the blame for this one.
I felt that Scott's post to me was a bit childish and I was trying to
needle him a little.  I didn't think anyone would seriously think I
didn't understand Scott's message.  I should have just let it drop.
Thats what I did when Chris responded.
My apologies to the echo.

assistant: *** Quoting Charles Hunter from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***
Perhaps that might be 'topical' but that hasnt been what you have been
posting about.  Might add, leagalized abortion leads to few deaths from
botched abortions.
The tangent about late term abortion is particualarily odd, because some of
the commentary seems to be made with few facts, and mostly emotional stance.
Late term abortion is very rare, and almost ALWAYS due to major medical
complications.  I worked in a hospital for 5 years and know of only 1 of
these. It was a lady who was heart-broken over the need for it but had no
choice.  Fetus was clinically dead due to a car accident and she had major
internal bleeding.  She ended up having to have a hysterectomy to save her
life.  (Late term abortions are done in hosptals if you didnt know).

No, some of them are criminally guilty of crimes.  Many of them are unaware
that the same clinic which does abortions, is often also a pre-natal clinic
and a fertility assistance center.
Most pro-lifers are just normal folks who act out of conviction but do no
harm to others.  Some like to bomb clinics however and they are the dangerous
ones who belong behind bars.

I like the new one you mention as well.
My experience with 'big brothers' was vicarious.  My brother had one, and he
was a rather interesting man. He liked science projects, kite flying, and
rockets.  John was just up his alley, and sometimes he would take us 'girls'
along too for a family outing.  I've forgotten the name of the man, but not
how he was, or how much he helped my brother John.  I recall him as a big
man, with a booming laugh and a big love of life.
