Ok, folks, I know that this topic is a no-no.  I have heard that it's
been debated to death.  This was before my time.  I never got to read any
of the debate, and I would be interested in having a discussion on it.

I am willing to take this topic off the net if there is too much screaming
about it;  I would continue the discussion via mail.  In the meantime, I
would like to reach a certain group of people;  this group will be easily
identifiable by their responses to the following question;

For each category of women listed underneath, which of them should be allowed
to have an abortion if they so desire:
1 - Women who get pregnant as a result of not using birth control.
2 - Women who get pregnant as a result of a birth control failure (failure
	of the mmethod, not of the couple using it)
3 - Women who get pregnant as a result of rape.
4 - Women who get pregnant because they want to have a child, but change their
	mind once they are pregnant.

My aim is to convince people that they should either answer "yes" to all
questions or "no" to all of them.  Therefore I would like to hear from
those who have answered yes to some and no to others.  I want to hear some
justifications of those answers.
I think a lot of people will see what I've got in mind with those questions.
For those who don't, I'm not telling yet, because I will probably get a more
sincere answer this way.
