toscano,

I openly admit that I am not "brilliant." I am not in a position to change all the wrongs of the world, including the issues you raised. I voiced an opinion, and related my confusion as to where it came from based on my upbringing, and that is all.

You wrote: "if you want to call yourself bat-woman that is fine. just don't force everyone to be called what you want them to name them."......I'm not sure where the bat-woman reference came from.

You also addressed the issue that I should adopt children ("if you feel so strongly towards the defense of "unborned" children... perhaps you would choose to adopt one of the many millions of babies born in the third world country who had "no choice" to be born.

then you would have yet another reason to boast in the eyes of the "hypocrites" who chose to call themselves... well "pro-choice".

hmmm i wonder if the "prolifers" are pro-adoption, and if so, how come they do not adopt 5 each. that would certainly cut in their free time to go shoot doctors.)"...

All I can say to that is that I do not feel for personal reasons that I would make a suitable parent, and this, in part, is why I have not had or adopted children. And I think it's unfair to assume that every person who opposes abortion supports shooting doctors.

I apologize for offending you and/or your beliefs.

Hi toscano,

Did you enjoy your vacation? Mine was a wee bit cold, but worthwhile nonetheless.

FWIW, I certainly haven't read Greta's post as an enforcement of the pro-life stance on others. indeed, I was saddened to read that her own mother stated that she must get an abortion if she found herself unmarried and pregnant at a young age. It's the enforcement of the decision (in either direction) that is morally wrong, IMO.

Greta, please correct me if I'm misspeaking here.
