OK, so what do you think people should do who use preventionary birth
control methods which fail on them?  (Yes, Otis, sometimes even all of
of two or three methods will fail simultaneously!)  Some of these
people already have several kids.  There is not necessarily "room for
one more."  Who in the h**l are you to allocate other people's resources
for them anyway?  (Sounds sort of like a flaming liberal to me! :-))
How do you get off telling people to just raise the kid anyway?!

So what?!  If you want to pay for abortions for poor women, you
will not be stopped. (At least not by me!)
