Hello Ross,

Not at all. Everyone's free to their opinion.

That I don't agree with at all. I don't think that place or any others like it
should be used as it has been. But that's the part of "pro-choice" you have to
deal with. People are going to take advantage of it. Then again, not EVERYONE
is going to take advantage of it.

Women should always have the final say what they do with their own body,
especially when things like rape and almost guaranteed maternal death, etc. are
involved.

On the other hand, "because I can't afford it." Or, "we didn't use protection..
OOPS!" are ridiculous reasons and if they abort their baby they should be
aborted themselves.

So uhh.. therein lies the conundrum. You can't be "pro-choice only" and not
accept that there will be failures in the system. Just as well, you can't be
"pro-life only" and then think that a raped woman should be able to abort.
*shrug*

There doesn't seem to be too many of those here in Fidonet. At least, I've
never seen anyone cry for the head of another.

Celebrities are just like you and I, except they're much more in the public eye
and make a lot more money. They're all entitled to their opinions, just like
us. They get more flak from it specifically because they are in the public eye.
That is all. It is usually the public that creates the controversy, not the
celebrity.. and I'm sure it has happened to the ones "left of center" as well.

Regards,
Nick
