Okay children.  This is the COMPLETELY wrong forum for this discussion.
I don't care who started it, I want it stopped.  If I have to come back
there and separate you two...

In all seriousness, this kind of discussion can go on in e-mail, or a 
more appropriate newsgroup.  This group is for news and items of specific
interest to the DC area.  The rightness and wrongness of abortion does
not qualify, and it will only serve to increase the volume and make it
difficult for some of us to get to the items that we subscribe to this
group for.  Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
