IAN How are you going to know when an abortion is medical, spontanious, natural or anything else. Why do you keep sidetracking the issue? If one finds a dead body or if someone is missing, they have an investigation. I just want is to make sure since you are so adament about 'life' that we do it up right. You aren't quite so stupid that you misunderstood what I was saying.

IAN There are plenty of children out there waiting to be adopted. The problem is people like you who want normal, white, babies. They don't want a deformed baby or a retarded baby or a child who has all kinds of psychological problems due to family and other problems. If every right to lifer adopted one child, we wouldn't have these problems and you are not looking to solve the problem, you are looking to solve your problem. What does it gain for a girl to have a baby if she can't support it? You bastards don't even want to support them on welfare.

IAN Oh yes, Claire, I know they do. Then what happens to them? I realize it's been years ago and over in Ireland but they had a story a while ago about the God Damned Sisters over ther telling the mothers that their baby died during childbirth and shipped the kid off to Canada and the USA for adoption. Oh I know Claire, that was long ago. In the 1930s. Before the RCC got any friggin morals. AMEN.
