Marcia, pardon my Y chromosome. I support a woman's right to abortion.
I can only say I hope your suggestion of getting "pro-lifers" to work
for planned parenthood was used to illustrate some of the hypocracy of
the "pro-life" movement. I don't think Planned Parenthood's philosophies
would harmonize with the sexist "copulate-and-suffer" attitude of many
"pro-lifers."

BTW, are you assuming there is a correlation between gender and opinions
on abortion? I have never seen any pattern.
