Well, for those who believe that life begins at conception, it may seem a bit odd that an organization that fights so strongly to save the life of a whale or set of whales, does not fight as strongly for the life of unborn humans. They might ask "why is the life of the whale LESS important than the life of the human baby?". The bumper sticker at least seems to point out what, to many, might seem as an inconsistancy in our law system and society as a whole. Now it may seem that I am one of these people. Well I am not. I am all for saving whales and for reproductive choice for everybody. Dave Tilley -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Dave Tilley cs.rochester.edu
