Well, it is not okay for a woman to have an abortion, whether or not it is 
legal.  What she does about it afterwards seems immaterial, at least to me. 
I just can't candone a policy that encourages such behavior.

Anyways, I'm not looking for a political debate/discussion/argument.  I 
stated my opinion and that is all.  In the interests of not wasting any more 
of the lists time, I will refrain from commenting further on this topic.
