1. That is wrong, because there has been several cases of this occurring.

2.You chose to have a bond, as did I. I won't tell the asshole down the street who beats his kid how to raise his children, though. He lacks a bond, that's his choice. We don't need to encourage anything...people make choices. At any rate, abortion doesn't rend that choice asunder to the extent you seem to think it does.

3/4. Of course they're going down. Other studies have shown improved diet and pre-natal care have reduced congenital problems. It has nothing to do with abortion. The numbers to which you refer trend to well before the legalization of abortion. So, statistically, you have PROVEN nothing. You have merely twisted some facts to suit your desires.

5. The level of commitment? Again, that is subjective. The logic is gapped. Work on it. Raising questions is meaningless without a basis to build on.

6) Late term abortions are allowed ONLY in very specific cases that are well defined and (according to pollsters - not that this means anything) the public supports. I, for one, have a problem with it. But in some cases, I have understood the mindset that produced them. What I was specifically referring to was a wholesale approval of late-term abortions. That, of course, doesn't exist. At any rate, that doesn't give people the right to shoot the doctors performing them.

7. Still unsupportable which makes
8. unfounded.

I support democracy, within limits. As Winston Churchill said, it is the worst system ever devised, except for all the others.
But in the event that 50% of the people are opposed, and 50% support a certain right or activity(or even 75/25)...it is best to opt (in a democracy) for the situation that BEST allows all people access to the rights they desire. In the case of abortion, it IS 50/50. So why should 50% of the people force their will on the other 50%?
