The natural result of ovulation is a baby. When an ovum is left to its natural course, its mother will respond to her natural sex drive and the ovum will develop into a baby. Unnatural practices such as abortion, contraception and chastity interfere with the natural order, and should be banned. Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "I know what you are. Nut.
