Please, people, discussions of abortion DO NOT BELONG IN NET.WOMEN.
Net.abortion was created specifically for that purpose.

This debate seems to have started when Yosi Hoshen posted something to
all of net.women, net.abortion, and net.politics suggesting that pro-choice
people were in danger of losing ground.  Perhaps he/she thought of this
as a "rallying call" that needed to be broadcast to so many groups,
though I don't agree with this "shotgun" method of starting discussions.
And Nancy Parsons posted something to net.women only arguing that abortion
was a form of exploitation of women, and thus a feminist issue.  So she
had a specific reason to post it here.

But all of the recent responses have been nothing more than the continuing
debate on whether abortion is right or wrong and why.  These just don't
belong in net.women.  So if you want to followup one of these articles,
PLEASE edit the header to reflect the set of newsgroups it is actually
appropriate to - it takes all of ten seconds.
