THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND AND THOUGHTFUL RESPONSES. THE SUMMARY GIVEN TO ME BY GERMANBUSINESS WAS MOST HELPFUL.
This is what makes a forum like Free Republic so worthwhile -- people helping other people ( total strangers at that !!). Sharing ideas that make you a better person and strenghtening your moral compass.
You don't get to see this anywhere else.
You are proof that Tocqueville's observation that America is filled with good people still is relevant today.
Again, my thanks.

I am in Germany and I am no angel, believe me. I just summarized how the Nazi past has a long shadow here. Abortion ain't going to be legalized anytime soon.
You're welcome I shall keep the situation in my prayers.
