Servita) Distribution: net Organization: The MITRE Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 45 OK. i have refrained from posting from this newsgroup for about a year now, and sporadically read it to see if anything NEW is ever said. I never find anything new said here. i do seem to see that there is one person here who is saying EVERYTHING i would say anyway, even down to his computer program argument (which for N years i have had a variant of as well). NOW DONT HIT 'n' yet just because i agree with Rich Rosen. Since he is on, i have felt no need to post here. Invariably he says exactly what i would. Until now. I think that he may be missing a way to get a bonifide NEW point into this stupid, unsolvable argument. Hence, the following is directed at the pro- life side of this group. (However, of course, everybody is free to respond) As usual, in any abortion argument, the topic of rape appears. "But what if she was raped?" Bleah. Poor Question. Unrelated to the general topic of Abortion On Demand. However, upon looking at this further, i had an idea. And thus i raise the following question to be answered. I would like to see the responses. I would like to see everybody post their response such that everybody else may see it, and (allowing for Usenet delays which may have made it possible for you to recieve a response BEFORE this article) i would like you to respond to the net immediately after reading this article. It is (as far as i am concerned) a very easy question to answer. This way, all the answers will be (hopefully) in one large clump. I will then respond to the answers. Do not cross-post to net.women, as this really isnt relevant there. (wait till the response comes). OK. Here is the question: ---------------------------- | Why is rape illegal? | ---------------------------- -the venn buddhist PS. my reasons are probably no different than yours. -- ----------------------------------------------- "Of course the Nielsen ratings are accurate... We proved it in a taste test!" ----------------------------------------------- -the venn buddhist
