	Ach!!  my apologies!  My intention was to mean that, once It was
determined that a woman was pregnant, that there was another life involved
than just the woman's convenience, and in this case, there IS a duty
involved!  Just as much a duty as that a father SHOULD support his children!
Of course, a woman does not have to become pregnant, but once another
human life is involved, her rights are naturally restricted, just as
anybody else's rights are when they interact with other human beings.

	Do not, by the way, in the great rush to free women from the "slavery"
of pregnancy, give them the extraordinary power of summary execution,
without trial or cause, of an innnocent human life.
