None I've heard from do. If you ever find a pro-deather, flame at him with this rhetoric. The point of the quote (which so cleverly had the context removed), was that nobody has a "right-to-life" necessarily. Nobody. The government gives it to some, and takes it from others. If you are going to wave a white banner in the air and "fight for the cause of human life", you've got a lot of work ahead of you before you even get to the abortion issue. -- Charles Forsythe CSDF@MIT-VAX "I was going to say something really profound, but I forgot what it was." -Rev.
