The Pro-Lifers are the political groups in Houston and Seattle
(both places I have lived in recently and listen to their
rhetoric) who are pushing for not only abortion BUT also
birth control in general! 

Now I realize that the group is large
enough that this stance is not a unanimous opinion. What I
find irritating is that very vocal, AND INFLUENCING few that
do hold this veiw point!  Even 20/20 segment on the abortion
issue pointed this out. When the research that was announced
that 1 new form of long term birth control, and an easier
chemical form of abortion were announced, did the Pro-life
spokesman even comment on the bad effects of having a quicker,
safer abortion method? No. The big concern was on the LONG
TERM BIRTH CONTROL! That is what I'm talking about.

It is that few who are setting the policy that I am worried
about. The same group out to abolish Planned Parenthood
(which does fill a BIG need in conseling of pregnancy
prevention)is the Pro-lifers I'm talking about.

The individuals with a more reasonable approach I would
be willing to listen to -- but they are few and far
appart -- AND NOT INFLUENCING THE LEGISLATURES!!!!

My comment should have been clearer. My apologies to
the reasonable few.
