					  But NIETHER can ANYONE
convince me that this emotionalistic attempt at illegitimate personification
has ANY bearing on EITHER side of the argument.  Leave this narrative
for the uneducated who can only respond emotionally rather than rationally.

	I think Tom missed the point of the article.  The story simply
pointed out that a 10 week-old fetus looks remarkably like a human
and the point of an abortion is to destroy the fetus.  You get
what you pay for.  I don't understand why the story was disturbing at all.  If
you didn't believe the fetus was 'human' then what do you care if it
is suffering?

	If you didn't believe the fetus was 'anything like you' then
the only emotion expressed in the narrative was the comment by
the abortionist about looking for number one.  There wasn't anything
illegal about the article.  Certainly talking about a human(the fetus) as
a person (personification) isn't illegal.

	I think that saying the narrative was aimed for the uneducated
could be phrased a little better.  I know I didn't know what a 10 week
old fetus looked like and I didn't know the mechanics of an abortion.
I've completed my B.S. in Engineering but I hope no one blames me for
not knowing how to perform an abortion.  I just as well may have believed
some of the articles which refer to a fetus being like a gelatinous cube.
