Repating this idea again and again doesn't make it true. The pages of stats that you posted specifically said that the developed world and the undeveloped world have a similar abortion rate

These experts also said that that the undeveloped and developing mainly represented ILLEGAL abortions. This is the point, and this is why I said you were "weaseling"!!

ALSO.."Roughly one-third of the world's women live in countries with strict abortion legislation, where women are not allowed abortion under any circumstances, or only in cases of rape, incest, or where the woman's life or health is in danger.

Tell me, Tim? What percentage of the world lives in the 5 "developed" countries, that were the basis of the statistics from the Alan-Guttmacher Ibstitute. More than 1/3 , Tim? What is the "weaseling" coefficient that will allow us to disregard the facts?? Help me out here, please.

When I get the time, I am going to tell you a story about when I first became aweare of what "WEASELING" was--when I was only about 9 years old. Perhaps that is why I am so sensitive to "WEASELING". It is funny, you know. I detest "WEASELING", and yet I have an uncomfortable admiration for it when I see it being done by the likes of Ollie NOrth, who was an expert. Many lawyers are experts at this, and I confess to a sneaking admiration for the art whe it is done sucessfully. So I hope you won't be offended if I share with you the fact that I find you just a little bit admirable.
