Yeah, I should have included a (sigh) -- the alternative is lying and coat
hangers...politicians and religious teaching. 
I wonder what the stats are on a) The number of attempted abortions that
resulted in death...how many in hospital...I'll guess there are a lot more
totals than are reported. In any event, I'm thankful the topic/problem
never came up in my now-grown family.  

-> 
-> 
-> A lot of abortion could be prevented by responsible birth-preventive
-> practices, just as many traffic deaths of young people can be prevented
by
-> responsible enforcement of under-aged drinking laws.

Sooo...who bell's the cat? Parents and teachers in the former case, I have
no idea as to the latter. My wife's idea: put birth control pills in the
drinking water. People would have to take anti-whatever shots before they
become fertile...I figure, what the hey; it's something the government
could spend trillions of dollars on...and Merik stock would go through the
roof. 
As to solving the problem I have no idea. Whaddaya think?
-> 
-> 
-> How can anyone possibly rage about `there ought to be tough, strict
laws' to
-> prevent people too young to purchase and consume alchoholic beverages;

(I just know you'll be impresses with this :-) -The French toddlers and
kids drink wine with their meals...but that all I know about ooh ooh -land.

...that same person who is deemed
-> `irresponsible' is suddenly qualified to decide the life or death of a
human
-> fetus?
Tell me first: who takes care of the child?
 
-> I get so mad over this issue it isn't even funny!
I am puzzled by a lot of things that I can't bring my self to anger over.
That's merely one.
