Lines: 18 Marie's article was interesting, though somewhat naive in one area. Abortion as a birth control method is very much an issue in the discussions I have seen on this net. The Planned Parenthood office in our area encourages this form of birth control and has discontinued counseling for other methods of control. Quite a few posters in this group defend abortion as a method of birth control. Some have gone so far as to advocate abortion as a method of reducing the poor ethnic populations in this country (a racist attitude if I ever heard one). I have no problems with your feelings about abortion Marie. You seem to be thinking in a more serious vein than many of the twits on the net who have only selfish motives for advocating abortion. T.
