Yes, that *is* long, and many may have skipped it for that reason. However, shortness is not necessarily a virtue (just look at many of the shorter articles submitted in this newsgroup for examples). One person flamed me without even having *read* the article. Please -- read it *then* flame me! The article hangs together as a unitary line of reasoning. In addition, to fully establish my conclusion, I felt it necessary to carefully discuss all the major arguments, pro and con, which are extant in the abortion debate. If the article <214@3comvax.UUCP> has scrolled off your news system by the time any of you read this, just send me mail and I'll happily forward it to you.
