I would suggest to Mr. ZZYZX to actually go out and bo<strong>the</strong>r to read<br />

what pro-lifers write, to listen to what pro-lifers say to each o<strong>the</strong>r in<br />

pro-life meetings, and to hear some pro-life speaches. Then, he may<br />

have standing to talk about what <strong>the</strong> pro-lifers are up to. Taking <strong>the</strong><br />

words of a small sample of pro-lifers putting <strong>the</strong> best side of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

argument forward in informal convesation, as Mr. ZZYZX has, is not a<br />

sound sociological method.<br />

If you follow my suggestions about <strong>the</strong> pro-life movement, you will<br />

find that pro-choicers do not enough begin to explain how much <strong>the</strong><br />

pro-life movement is based on being "anti-sex Inquisitiors".<br />

Faux-liberal pro-choicers who believe that "any sort of compromise"<br />

is possible with <strong>the</strong> pro-lifers are simply deluded. One may as well<br />

attempt compromise with <strong>the</strong> Iranian government on <strong>the</strong> subject of women’s<br />

clothing.<br />

Well you best stop eating, walking or taking antibiotics, because you are<br />

killing lots of "life" in terms of living cells. Or is your definition of
