Message-ID: <7043@watmath.UUCP> Date: Wed, 29-Feb-84 20:16:52 EST Article-I.D.: watmath.7043 Posted: Wed Feb 29 20:16:52 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 2-Mar-84 07:03:31 EST References: <921@hou5e.UUCP>, <1012@pegasus.UUCP> Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 12 Unless a net.abortion is created, and I think it will be shortly, net.women is the best place for an abortion discussion because it is one of the most important "women" issues: the right for women to control their own bodies. I think that putting it in net.philosophy would "abstract" the problem more than it should be. This issue has already been "abstracted" to death and I wanted to show this by starting this discussion again. Whether I will manage to get this point across remains to be seen, but I haven't lost hope yet. The fact that this issue is so popular is an indication that it is an important one, so we should not censor discussion on it. Sophie Quigley watmath!saquigley
