reply to Ken Arndt:

I think you are probably correct at some level, abortions are often 'for
convenience' rather than what most of us would consider 'desperation'.
Of course these thoughts get rather mixed when something as monumental
as child-bearing/raising is at stake (did I avoid the draft during the
VietNam era out of 'convenience'?, I am sure some would argue this is
so, but aren't they focusing in on the easy issue?)

I stand on my point. The current abortion situation belies a very sick
society, where our babies don't "fit in". I think stopping women from
this choice is the wrong place to start.  It will only make us sicker
while we avoid the real issue:  We have lost interest in life.
