Let's see now. Your position, as I hear it, is that MT is responsible for all the babies born as a result of people who didn't use birth control.

Let me disabuse you of your misunderstanding of my position:

Message 15722754

I do not know where you got your erroneous understanding from--as I have been careful to say only what I said--and I have never said anything remotely resembling such nonsense.

If you read my posts, you will see that I only made the obvious points--that MT's POLICIES are acknowledged by apologists and detractors alike, as having had an effect upon the number of people who used birth control, and the number of people who chose abortions.

Your speech about responsibility is clearly intended for a different courtroom--perhaps across the hall. People know where I stand on personal responsibility, so your invention of a false position for me--well this would only have fooled the odd idiot--and perhaps the judge.

MT is responsible only for her actions, and perhaps (in a legal sense) for the actions of her agents. Whether or not her actions were lawful in some instances where there was no consent to treatment because of diminished capacity--well, we have not looked at that issue--and we do not have enough reliable information to look at it, in my opinion.

The examples you gave in order to buttress your mischievous allegations of my position, certainly cut a few inches from your stature. Now you will need heel lifts.

Be careful when you are faking obtuseness. Sometimes one becomes what one pretends...
