are only potential human beings, not full term adults, we should also
get doctors to perform the procedures. By the way, adoption is too
traumatic for some, and you can’t force your values on others.

Not only that, also in early stages, and help for the mother in getting
diapers, child furniture, clothes. In my area, many abortion counseling
services listed in the yellow pages have had the pro-abortion circles
requesting that they be disbanded because they counsel women but do not
provide abortion services (hmmmm. sort of the same thing Planned Parenthood
does, but does not deal in the adoption services.) Bad guy Pat Robertson
boasts of a large facility for crisis pregnancies. The pro-abortion set
claims to be pro-choice, but only provides one available choice...you
think you really want the baby do you, it will be a lot of trouble, adoption
is traumatic, you’re too young, you can’t handle it, you don’t really want
to do that, you have the right to choose abortion, and you don’t even have
to wait a day to sleep on it...oh what’s that, you want an abortion, oh
I’m glad you made the right choice. Step in this room and wait. Next!

Three in two years? This barely incriminates Operation Rescue, let alone
the entire pro-life movement. Of coure, it’s three too many, but I don’t
see how three murders taint all abortion opponents.

And, once again, the point that I have been trying to make:
