Freezing kills and damages the quality of the semen. Bummer. Maybe we can use cloning instead. I'm just trying to broaden the discussion a bit here. This issue has degenerated into two "sides," pro-life and pro-choice. The former wants to make abortion illegal. The latter wants to stop them. So the two sides push and pull back and forth like some trash-talking NFL linemen in a staged tug of war. Maybe we can find a resolution if we redefine the problem. Clearly the objective of the pro-lifers can't really be to make abortion illegal. That's just the means-to-an-end that is in play at this time. And it's a loser. If we could reframe the objective into something everyone can support there's an opportunity to accomplish something. I think what the pro-lifers really want is to quit killing fetuses. I can buy into that. Lots of pro-choice types could. We just need to find a way to accomplish it that doesn't involve making abortion illegal. Maybe the frozen sperm idea is a loser, too. I just threw that out to try to get away from the same old yada yada. We've gotten so entrenched we've forgotten how to brainstorm. There must be something out there that would work for everyone.
