WOW!!  I like your arguements, Mr. Gilman!  Pure logic is something very
refreshing to run into.  Also, you've tabbed all your statements so it's
very easy to insert those ol' brokets.  I liked most of what you said, but
I think you missed an option here:

>    So the solution, obviously, is to ammend the constitution so that,
>    notwithstanding the first amendment or anything else, abortion is
>    illegal.

Why??  Why can't the opposite be just as true, the default solution making
it legal for everyone and those who don't like it, don't have to use it?
We don't have to eliminate all sugar because of some existing diabetics.
Unlike marijuana, guns, or drunken driving, abortion doesn't concern
innocent bystanders.  If you're not involved, you can't get hurt.  If some
jane off the street decides she wants an abortion, it won't affect me. 
With drunken driving, murder, and drug pushing, I can be totally minding
my own business and still get pulled into one of their effects on the
world.  Except for the most bizarre circumstances, people can forever
rid or involve their personal worlds with abortion as they choose.  I don't
see why we cannot make that do/don't-use choice for ourselves.
