I was really trying to address the argument that Paul Dubuc and
others have been advancing lately that goes something like this:

	"A woman who has sex runs the risk of becoming
	pregnant.  Having an abortion is an attempt to
	evade the responsibility for taking that risk,
	and is therefore immoral."

I wanted to illustrate that that argument is bogus by applying the
same argument to some other everyday risk.
