And te state already prevents you from killing me, why should these rights not be granted to a humn being simply because it has not been born yet? The state doesn't demand that we save others by giving them marrow transplants, but then an abortion is not just a failure to provide something -- it is an action, not an absence of one. -- Laura Creighton utzoo!laura "Capitalism is a lot of fun.
