We're talking here about a specifically national situation rather than abstractions. I don't think the problem is very prevalent in our culture yet. We can't make Chinese law. But we do recognize women's reproductive rights as a human right which is supposed to transcend political rights. So either we say *no* it's not a human right or only *sometimes*, thus giving the state the right to make laws restricting abortion and taking away human rights. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
