  I can see where you would get the 'Consistent Responsibilty' positions
ie. your position, but I do not see how you came out with the other
classification. If we use your classifications, you believe in R1 R2,
Mr Frank believes in R1 NR2 and I believe in NR1 R2. While I will agree that
your stand is consistent (the child will be born and the parents (both) will
assume a responsibility (she to bear, he to pay)) and I think my position
is consistent (She decides whether or not to bear, and he will pay if 
necessary) I cannot see the consistency/fairness of Mr Frank's position,
(she must bear, he need not pay).

  I for one feel I have said everything reasonable I have to say on this
limited subject and will now retire on my position. I really don't think
this addresses any central issue anymore as I don't see a reason to
differentiate between an abortion desired as the result of a 'one night stand'
and one desired for any other reason.

( I must also prepare for the hordes of students returning to slake their
thirst for knowledge. My feet sure get tired from stamping out ignorance :-(
