****************OFF TOPIC (ABORTION)*********************

Certainly not a topic I'd normally touch. I'll add one observation, though. My understanding is that abortion is fairly rare in Western Europe, but teen pregnancies are quite rare also, at least compared to the U.S. And it's not because they're more puritanical than us. Rather, everybody knows about sex, and everybody knows about birth control. There are some issues in the way of our following that path, eh?

Abortion rates are quite high in Russia and Japan, which share some of our official attitudes on sex, i.e. Just Say No!!!. It ends up being a routine birth control method there, which is quite unfortunate all around. Maybe Japan has fixed up their problem since I read about this, I'd imagine Russia is worse than ever.

Cheers, Dan.
