posting like you have, of course you will get challenges and answers that are not in agreement. Part of discussing things is starting from different places. This is a discussion board. Do you want us to just read what younwrite and not comment?

The anger comes for attempts to legislate away our medical care rights that should not be legislated away. Yes, of coursenyou can haveyour own opinion of what you would do,, just do not take away my rights to do as I would. Also, please read and learn things like what the radical difference is between 20 and 25 weeks, for instance.
