Being in a majority (mainstream) does not always put a lock on what should be. The founding fathers warned of the tyranny of the majority. Times do change. At one point, Jim Crow was in the mainstream too. JLA

You better check again on that gun thing...but at any rate, I do not mind being out of the mainstream on abortion, in fact I thank GOD for that.

AS, If PROLIFE and I are out of the mainstream, how come Bush is leading and will be your next President. Gun control and registration keeps guns out of the hands of honest citizens only. The criminals will still have as many guns, if not more, than they do now. Your father would still have been gunned down by that mentally deranged person regardless of what laws were on the books. You are a dreamer of impossible dreams. ~H~

"Anti choice" "Pro Choice".......The reality is these are lines to cover the real term which is PRO - ABORTION. Here is an interesting take from an online magazine. "Though abortion -- including the killing of viable infants at the verge of birth -- is now a sacrament of the Democratic Party, nobody admits to being 'pro-abortion'; they are 'pro-choice.' This is an obvious lie. The right to choose anything presupposes the right to live. The child, fetus, embryo, or whatever you want to call the entity growing within its mother's womb has no 'choice' about being killed. It will never have a choice about anything. The pro-abortion side is pro-abortion in the same way that advocates of slavery were pro-slavery. 'Oh,' they protest, 'but we don't insist that everyone get an abortion; we only want people' -- that is, mothers -- 'to have a choice!' Then nobody was pro-slavery either, since nobody insisted that every white man own a slave; they were 'pro-choice.' They wanted each white man to be 'free' to decide whether to buy slaves; or they wanted every state to decide whether to permit slavery. Of course they overlooked the obvious fact that the slaves themselves had no choice; in their minds this was irrelevant." --Joseph Sobran
