33. You might take into consideration that many

websites are not regularly updated. You could write to the site owner and explain that there is outdated information on the site.

Speaking of having the guts to be honest, why does the pro-abortion lobby fight informed consent laws? Why does the pro-abortion lobby not want mothers to see a sonogram of their baby to fully understand what his/her developmental stage is?

If the movement were really "pro-choice," it would let the women see the sonograms and make their own choices. Trouble is, the sonogram reveals that it's not "a bunch of cells" or "a scab" but a tiny human baby, which is certain to make some mothers choose to continue their pregnancies. Why is that wrong? It's an informed choice then. Without a sonogram, it's an uninformed choice.

Is it really better for a woman to have an abortion believing the "it's just a few cells" lie told at the abortion clinic and later see photos of what a baby that age looks like? That's what happened to a friend of mine and it pretty much destroyed her life.

If you think it would be Draconian to require gynecologists to do abortions, don't you think it would also be Draconian to require physicians to prescribe and pharmacists to dispense abortefacients?

Physicians frequently refuse to prescribe drugs that have nothing to do with reproduction. All physicians have their personal views about which drugs are best and how much to prescribe, and are often unwilling to vary that even when the patient's symptoms don't improve. Do we need to pass laws that say doctors can't have personal views about the practice of medicine? Or do we just need to let patients find M.D.s who will give them the treatment they need?
