And another thought on "violence"--giving birth is the most violent natural event the human body can undergo, both for the mother and the baby. Many miscarriages--spontaneous abortions--are similarly violent, especially at later stages of the pregnancy, much more so than a first-trimester abortion. The "violence" objection *per se* is a canard. It's an underhanded appeal to the emotions, entirely independent of fact and logic. That's not to say there are no legitimate objections, just that this one is not at all straightforward. However, all the legitimate objections have to do with *beliefs*, not with knowable, clearcut facts. (Nothing wrong with an objection based on belief as long as one doesn't try to disguise it as factual, of course.) ------------------------ Yahoo!
