Does anyone have any idea what this is about?!?!  Sophie and Gary, personal
mail usually is send with /usr/ucb/mail or usr/ucb/msg  (or comp and repl,
if you're into mh!).  As for if abortion is evil or not, evil and good are
such abstract concepts I wouldn't think it would be too useful to everyone
else to define abortion as one or the other.  What's evil?  Killing in
cold blood?  (First strike, cut-throat business competition)  What's good?
Charity?  Helping those less fortunate than you?  Even that cannot be
labeled as 'pure good', because giving help encourages (breeds?) permenent 
dependence, and dependence is not being able to help oneself; leeching in
some cases, helpless in others.  So do the opposite and not help?  Callous,
unkind, ...evil?  Abstract concepts such as good and evil have no real
application in a real world.  Perhaps it would be better if you discussed
if abortion DOES or DID good or evil.  Doing an abstract is a little
easier to accept than something being the abstract.
