For anyone spouting the " abusive parent theory, here is some interesting information: CONCERNING CHILD ABUSE Legalizing abortion was supposed to help reduce child abuse, since it was assumed most abused children were unwanted at birth. But this theory has been disproven by scientific studies as well as by the evidence that child abuse has sharply increased since abortion became legal. In 1973, when abortion became legal in the United States, there were 167,000 cases of child abus and neglect reported. Yet in 1980 there were 785,100 cases - an increase of 370% from 1973. Furthermore, in 1987, there were 2,025,200 cases reported, which represents an increase of 1112%. (Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. National Center of Child Abuse and Neglect; National Analysis of Official Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting). Rather than helping stop child abuse, legal abortion has actually contributed to its sharp rise due to the effects abortion has had on women's self-esteem and the ability to deal with stress. Dr. Philip Ney in a widely read study on the connection between abortion and child abuse notes: "... elective abortion is an important cause of child abuse." "Recent evidence indicates many women harbour strong guilt feelings long after their abortions. Guilt is one important cause of child battering and infanticide. Abortion lowers women's self-esteem and there are studies reporting a major loss of self-esteem in battering parents...." Source: P. Ney, M.D. "Relationship between Abortion and Child Abuse." Canada Journal of Psychiatry, vol. 24, pp. 610-620.

<<Liar, I have never stated that I am superior to anyone in any way.>> Of course you have! Do you think every one is an idiot? Every time you challenge my or anyone elses' morality as you do constantly you are really talking about your own supposed moral superiority. It don't take no PHD to figure that one out. << I will continue to expose you as a fraud>> Continue to try if you choose but I suspect that you are really trying to convince your self that you are not! pez
