GUEST, too chicken to sign in:

Hey, my views on abortion are less formed by an absolute feeling of the "right to life" then the realities of the back room abortions that were performed in the 50's and early 60's. The folks of the middle and upper classes had no problems but the less fortunate dies in back rooms of gas stations and beauty parlors.

I would rather see a *real* attempt to teach safe sex and make birth control available without restirction to anyone who wants it without parental disclosures.

So, yeah, I am torn and I don't think I'm alone in this. There are alot of us who are against capital punishment for the *sanctity of life* issues who reluctantly favor a woman's right to choose over the alternatives.

But this issue on the table with the bakrupcty legislation is about allowing vigilantes to express their views with no recourse for their actions. If I choose to lay down in front of a police car during a demonstartion, I accept the consequences of my actions. So should people who think they have a right to destroy others property. If we don't stand firm here, then where?
