Those of us with deplorably knee- jerk responses to this issue (regardless of which side) would certainly welcome a separate newgroup, for two reasons: 1. If we wish to indulge, we can be subscribers. 2. If we do not wish to indulge, we can unsubscribe, and thereafter direct all abortion flamers to an appropriate existing newsgroup. Personally, I would appreciate having net.abortion around as a layer of insulation. The "no abortion flaming" taboo has had a positive regulatory effect for some (dare I say it) nine months now, but this is evidently only the gestation period for renewal of the discussion. So let's do it right this time: net.abortion on demand! --- Michael Turner (ucbesvax.turner)
