E, have you ever seen the film "Miracle Of Life"? It's about 10 years old (I believe) and you can pick it up at most libraries. It's one of those must see films. Michael

Finally, a combination of criticism of the decision, and the sort of reflections I have already argued, turned me against Roe and all abortions. I am not a member of any church, and am not doctrinally required to be anti- abortion. Michael Cummings, who is a member of an evangelical church, has a position identical to yours. I stand on my own.......
