I guess I've been ignorant of how recently some very important rights have been won. It is too bad that you didn't instead say to yourself: I was surprised to hear today, Jan 22, is the tenth anniversary of the day babys lost their rights by abortion. I guess I've been ignorant of how recently some very important rights have been lost. Do you want to hear something ironic? Our week old baby was baptized on the 22nd (by coincidence). Little Stephanie has rights as a little baby. Hmmm. She's a female, so she has the right to abortion too (Please note the sarcasm!). Strange, I can't imagine a little baby KILLING someone. Only "adults" can justify it to themselves. Strange, the things we can justify to ourselves; isn't it. Mike Laman ...sdcsvax!laman P.S. Flame all you want. Just hit above the belt. I know, now well hear attempts to justify to ourselves that my uses of "someone" above was "wrong". If you are thinking about that, just read the last sentence in that paragraph.
