Challenge to pro-lifers. Assume scenario. Answer numbered questions.

Let's don the rose-colored Vuarnets and imagine:

	Abortion is made illegal in the U.S.A.

1. Now what? What do say to all the women (and fetuses) who die
in back alleys from unsterile illegal abortions?

How about: 
"Serves ya' right ya' prevert! don't have sex unless you
wanna have a kid!"

2. What do you say to all the overflowing orphanages?

How about:
"No problem, someone will help you pay the costs.
How about Social Security?"

3. What do you say to all the adoption agencies with an abundance
of "unadoptable" minority babies?

"Be patient, someone will adopt them, sometime, somewhere."

4. So what will happen, guys? Will sexually active types
suddenly decide to become "GASP!" responsible? Will
everything work out hunky-dory?


5. Do pro-lifers feel obligated to address these points?

"We are morally perfect, don't throw your misadventures in
our laps!"


OKAY ARNDT & COMPANY, FLAME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
