My apologies if people confused a blanket indictment of society for an
endorsement of amy's particular opinions. When I said "Amy has a point" I
was referring only to the "oppression of fifteen year old's" remark, and
nothing else. I am not a doctor, and the subject of pre-natal care has
never been terribly important to me.
