Gary - Is not that one of the ways to test an idea ? To take it to its logical extreme ?  After all, we are not debating who has the best apple pie recipe, we are talking about is going to live or die, and even the "the "fetus" is not alive" argument holds no water, as those aborted "fetuses" would have been alive, had the decision not been made to exterminate them. I would say this issue deserves some "extreme" discussion, wouldn't you say ? For the record, I do understand that most who argue that children who are born in difficult circumstances should be aborted are probably doing so with good intentions, but the miss the point - my mom's DR tried to tell her to abort me in "difficult circumstances" when she was 17, I am glad I was born before 1973.....Had I been just a bit later, I probably would not be writing this to you. What do you think ?  If we did meet, you may be surprised, when a person can spend more than 500 words to argue, things can be a bit more "gentle"  or "Civil".
