68. Yep, I saw it.

That's why I said I saw where he/she was going. And it was clever, I'll agree with that. The way abortion clinics are treated is shameful and un-American. Someone else's choices, that don't affect you, are none of your business. Alas, so few seem to grasp that.

And thanks. Glad to know that someone else understands my interpretation of what was said, and that it wasn't just me.

Thanks for the welcome, as well. I realize that folks are wary of trolls (I lurked a while before making an account), so I tempered my responses a bit. The initial drafts were a little more heated than what wound up being posted, but I figured that if looked like I was being aggressive or attacking established members, well... that never goes down well in any community, online or otherwise.

Anyway, thanks again!
