Let me preface this by saying I am against abortion.  I am also very
much in favor of its legality.  However.

	You have to consider the other side also.  You may be
	wrong.

	If this happens, I will be VERY surprised.  Lots of things
	are bad, or bad for you.  Take smoking.  Look at the number
	of lives we could save by outlawing smoking. Or drinking;
	we could save many lives by outlawing alcohol.

	But it's big business.  Realistically it isn't going to happen,
	nor should it.

	There is no way to prove that aborting a three month old fetus
	is killing a human being. Potential is not the same as actuality.
	And until this is proven, I have to work under the assumption
	that a law against abortions would be interfering with personal
	freedoms.

	And there is *no* excuse for interfering with freedom.
