Jim,

I am not pushing abortion and I do not plan any further involvement in discussions of the topic on FR based on this experience. What concerns me is that in 30 years of involvement in Virginia politics all I’ve ever seen the issue do is get good candidates for public office defeated by vermin and this leads me to believe that draconian laws are the wrong approach, and that what is actually needed to get rid of the 95% of abortions that you really want gone is economic initiatives. That is actually taking place in Germany and Russia at present. That’s what I tried to get across here but nobody could tell that from all the straw men standing around.

One the one hand you claim to not be pushing abortion, then on the other you claim to be in favor of 5% of abortions and ALL genetic abortions (for Down Syndrome, etc.).

You sound EXACTLY like the leftists who say they are "personally opposed, but."

Draconian laws? Well, it’s obvious you are not one of us.

draconian laws are the wrong approach

You mean, like the 10 Commandments?

Like "Thou Shalt Not Kill?

Draconian?

Bad choice of words.

Zot.
