Is this wrong? Are you suggesting you've never read Playboy?... I remember an episode of _Maud_ where Maud gets pregnant and her daughter convinces her to get an abortion. I've never seen a comedy/drama that tackled the morality of prostitution.. There are much more offensive problems in life that aren't going away.. (but even at that, prostitution is legal in some places in this country, Nevada for one...) You would make an analogy between the cattle industry and mass murder if it helped your point.. I feel a distrinct moral twinge when I think of cattle being slaughtered, and it is a most offensive subject. That is because we have been protected from those realities of life.. I think those are very poor analogies (especially considering the fact that both are to some degree accepted in this country, and you obviously think abortion shouldn't be...) > 2) Is there anything wrong with abortion? Is this a for real question?! Your opinions are obvious in the way you ask leading questions.. Leading questions will be attacked in of themselves.. Objective questions will not. You help neither this discussion nor your point by asking them.. -- Myke Reynolds Office of Telecommunications and Networking Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!myke
