For the abortion issue, please see my post #35. A lot of people are asking. As for Alzheimer's, you are touching a sensitive topic today, as I will be attending my Great-Aunt's funeral tomorrow at 11:00 a.m., and will be going to the viewing in a few hours. She had Alzheimers, but what killed her was the cancer no one knew about because she couldn't tell us about the pain until it was too late to treat. Despite my having different views on many topics than you, she was in no way an imposition, and was never treated as if she was.
I'll second the warning about giving out identifying details, you're not hard to track down in less than 15 minutes.
