The technique I was suggesting has been used for years here. It is not something that I invented. You have been around long enough to know that. A lot of energy goes into defending garbage OP's designed to start riots. They are distractions to the real issues.

You don't for one minute think that I was talking about threads regarding access to safe, legal abortions do you? Maybe you would like to defend the OP running now about how women have abortions because they are too selfish to give the baby up for adoption. You see, out of respect for women an OP like that demands a response.
