This is a very interesting use of semantics in light of your condemnation of "abortion absolutists". Doesn't the italicized quote above represent exactly what abortion is? You say that "you do not have a right to dump children" (an absolutist proposition, btw) but isn't that exactly what mothers who contract with abortionists to butcher their offspring do?
Further, when you state that some "would be more comfortable executing a woman (and considering it more humane, even) than making her take Norplant. [']Sterilization is torture, but execution is justice['] " [single quote emphasis mine to indicate your summation of wideawake's postition] , do you mean to imply that the execution of the guilty is not justice and that conversely the execution of an innocent offspring of mother and father by an abortionist is justice?
Such incoherence is astounding.
Cordially,
