So someone else gets to make the call?

I do blame them. I never said I didn't. If I get a women pregnent, it's my responsbility to care the child. (If my wife lets me live.) If a woman chooses to have an abortion, it's her responsibility as well. If men _could_ get pregnant, I wouldn't place any less blame on them if they had an bortion. -ray ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
