BK, thank you very much. Well-said and scarey!

Joe, I think you will find many of us agree pretty much with you on the abortion issue; there are those of us who will not stand for any encroachment on a woman's right to govern her own body, no matter what. The far right does not advocate birth control, either, so we could be in for a real fight.

BK, thanks for the book recommendation. I already have one of Molly books and will gladly seek out this one. I'd give my eye teeth if my columns were anywhere near as good as hers; she always been one of my writing heros to look up to for inspiration.

Hope you have a quiet and uneventful on-call.
