I am not so much concerned about the beliefs of pro-choicers as I am
concerned and actively involved in what they do.  People who work in
clinics are pro-choice in their actions and make a living performing
abortions.  There are alot of things I don't want to pay for that the
government spends money on, but I would rather pay to SAVE lives than
DESTROY them.

Why is this correlation in error?  Did I say it was 1:1?  Your alleged
analogy doesn't make sense to me - does it to the rest of the net?

>Or is this the same argument as with

Making abortion illegal will reduce the risk of dying for millions
of unborn infants.  Believe it or not, women currently die in abortion
clinics due to unsafe practices.  Dr. Allred, operator of most of SoCal's
clinics is being prosecuted for just such an offense related to an
Hispanic girl's death at one of his clinics.  

>p.s.  is your Tender Life example pro-choice, or does it tell a woman

If you still have the phone number from my posting why don't you call it
and discover for yourself?  I'm sure you can think of a probing question
which will answer your question and you'll get a first-hand experience
with a pro-life organization.
