BWAHAHAHAHA...plenty, and they are STILL my friends and they now believe that Roe v. Wade is unconstitutional and must be overturned or overlegislated. All I'm saying, my FRiend, is that demonizing the woman is short-sighted, IMHO. Sure, you can win the argument, but you end up losing your intended convert. Think about it...if you killed an unborn child that was growing inside of you and were the least bit concerned with the value of life, you'd haveta be self-loathing to some degree, wouldn't you?! I mean, if you believe in an AfterLife, and you just KILLED the most innocent of God's creatures, you'd probably wonder what Hell was going to be like. My point is that there has to be some strong emotions pent up inside of women who've had abortions and your noble efforts--well said, btw--tend to demonize the female when any potential converts probably already feel pretty bad about themselves BEFORE you started making them feel worse. I AGREE 100% that Fathers DESERVE Some Say on what happens to their progeny...but making this a Man vs. WOman debate creates a schism which I believe to be inconducive to changing the Hearts and the Minds of our fellow Americans.
FReegards, my FRiend, and good thread...MUD
"The United Nations concluded in 1999 that Saddam Hussein had biological weapons sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax -- enough doses to kill several million people. He hasn't accounted for that material. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed it. The United Nations concluded that Saddam Hussein had materials sufficient to produce more than 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin -- enough to subject millions of people to death by respiratory failure. He hadn't accounted for that material. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed it. Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. In such quantities, these chemical agents could also kill untold thousands. He's not accounted for these materials. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them. U.S. intelligence indicates that Saddam Hussein had upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents. Inspectors recently turned up 16 of them -- despite Iraq's recent declaration denying their existence. Saddam Hussein has not accounted for the remaining 29,984 of these prohibited munitions. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed them. From three Iraqi defectors we know that Iraq, in the late 1990s, had several mobile biological weapons labs. These are designed to produce germ warfare agents, and can be moved from place to a place to evade inspectors. Saddam Hussein has not disclosed these facilities. He's given no evidence that he has destroyed them. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed in the 1990s that Saddam Hussein had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a nuclear weapon and was working on five different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb. The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production. Saddam Hussein has not credibly explained these activities. He clearly has much to hide."
