Aspiring indeed--you've got a long way to go, though, since you
can't see the difference between iconoclasm and name-calling.
You get points for exuberance, though--there's so little of it
these days.

My contention that the majority of anti-abortionists were men was
not meant as an argument on abortion, simply an observation about
the arguers.  My sample would appear to be biased, so I'd like
to get that reference.  Having done survey research and taught
statistics, I will not concede its accuracy until I've read it,
not that it would make any difference in the validity of either side.
I suppose I could take Paul's word for it, though, since he clearly
knows everything, if he does say so himself.
