There are already too many people in the world. If you argue against abortion because it deprives the world of potential people, you are not being realistic. More people does not mean more great people; actually, it means less for everyone, and everyone suffers. (To reiterate my main argument: Those against abortion are being more idealistic than realistic.) Killing young fetuses is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively the same as killing concious human beings. Stop pushing the "Hitler argument"; it only avoids the real issue. We are discussing abortion, not genocide. If you haven't been through the experience, I truly believe that in this case you are simply not qualified to comment. I have been there and I do speak from experience. (yes, I'm male, but you know what I mean...) Willing to argue this subject all night (sigh...), Alan Silverstein
