Message-ID: <1288@ucla-cs.ARPA> Date: Thu, 20-Sep-84 17:32:43 EDT Article-I.D.: ucla-cs.1288 Posted: Thu Sep 20 17:32:43 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 26-Sep-84 03:32:35 EDT Organization: UCLA CS Dept. Lines: 17 So much talk about the effects of legality and (non-) enforcement! When you consider the fact that any educated woman can easily give herself a safe abortion early in her pregnancy, why waste time with debate over what the laws should read? Saying it isn't legal accom- plishes nothing. Sorry, gentlemen, but abortion will ALWAYS be the woman's choice, irregardless of what the societal consensus is. Whether you LIKE this fact or not (and I'm not sure I do, either), it's still a fact. Why don't we argue over whether legalizing suicide would cause more suicides? Lori
