Papa Jack comments:
Welcome aboard, Tara.  According to Deja News you are new to the 
news groups (ngs).

This is as good as it gets.  Chris is treating you very gently as
a newbie.  If you have "lurked" a few messages on this ng, you know
the insults by the Pro-Abortion Righters (PARs) get really harsh 
and dishonest.  That is their primary weapon, because they know they 
will clearly lose in a straight debate.  Therefore, they use all 
the little logical fallicies, rhetorical tricks, and "flames."  Then 
they strut about and preen themselves in public.  At times, they 
like to brag about how many Pro-Lifers they have chased off the ngs 
with their crude, abusive tactics.

Turning to the two points Chris made -- I hate to admit it, but he
is correct:  

   It would be better to use lower case letters.  It is easier on 
   the eyes of your readers -- plus, it allows you to to save the 
   "all caps" for when you want to emphasize a word or phrase.

   The term "homicide" IS more accurate than the word "murder."
   Our laws on "homicide" have a range of offenses for killing 
   humans which depend on a variety of factors.  The word "homicide" 
   includes everything from 1st Degree Murder to Manslaughter.  

   Due to errors by the Supreme Court, abortion is currently legal.  
   However, that will change as the American people gain a better 
   understanding of the shameful things which are being done.  Our
   first goal is to get the performance of abortions restricted to 
   cases involving rape, incest, severe deformity of the fetus, or 
   a grave threat to the LIFE of the mother.  Violations should be 
   grounds for lose of license by physicians as well as vulnerability 
   to multi-million dollar lawsuits.

   That is not the final goal, but it is a reasonable one that the
   American public would support with education efforts by Pro-Life
   advocates.  If we could sell that to the public, more than
   1,000,000 lives per year could be saved.

Again, welcome aboard.  I will look forward to reading your future
posts.
