If the abortions were illegal it was more a problem of enforcing the laws that was the problem. Thus the movie Sophie mentioned could be interpreted the wrong way. A real pro-abortion movie should show the results of NOT having an abortion, i.e. having a child. I can picture the movie now: Cold winter night. Woman in labor drives car onto Sophie's farm. She can't be put up in the house since the house is filled with guests on Christmas Eve. Sophie does offer her the barn. In the barn the child is born slightly after midnight. The only thing which keeps the child warm is the breath of the animals. Later three of society's 'untouchables' visit to complete the insult. The retard from down the street brings a stupid toy. The welfare case from around the block brings a cheap meal. The hitchhiker brings his dirty towel. Grody to the max! Of course it will then take a little bit of creative talent to show the disruption to society that the child will bring and his suffering. But that might be better told as another story. :-} -- Hey, Santa, pass the bottle. //Z\\ James M. Ziobro Ziobro.Henr@Xerox.ARPA {rochester,amd,sunybcs,allegra}!rocksvax!z
