Sci. Lines: 15 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. -Barry Shein, Boston University
