(Although, if someone takes the pro-life position *only* because their church/parents/whosamasudge tells them they should, and not because *they personally* have come to the conclusion that the fetus should have rights, it probably is an attempt to inflict beliefs.) I will, however, respond to your example early next week in net.abortion, although I would leave any arguments about the pro-life position being an attempt to inflict beliefs in this group. -- hawk (Rick Hawkins @ Olivetti ATC) [hplabs|zehntel|fortune|ios|tolerant|allegra|tymix]!oliveb!oliven!hawk
