Pete, you don't know what I have or haven't done. I say anyone that 
thinks killing another is a personal private matter doesn't understand 
life or death. And yes, that's an opinion. I'll stand by it.

We're up to over 40 million innocent lives destroyed while those like 
you chant "it's no one else's business".

BTW, when you asserted that the abortion issue is "mostly decided on a 
religious (or non-religious, choice again) basis" you neglected to state 
that was your opinion. Mikey's going to get mad.
