I am not suprised at your reactions at all because religious and legal issues are always incompactible. But sometimes it helpful to think outside the box. I still suggest that you desist from hasty conclusions and judgements.

It's about women in sexual relationships who got pregnant. This has nothing to do with the church. It has to do with the soul and the spirit of a nation. There is a sickness and a hardness that comes into a nation and its people when its children are devalued and women are encouraged to kill them. Not only encouraged, but a woman's self-worth and equality is tied to the ability to kill her children at will. Why do feminists tout abortion as their number one right? Pay is still not equal; the number of female tenured faculty is still not equal, especially in the sciences, but they put all of their efforts and dollars into ensuring that women can kill their children quickly, easily, and repeatedly. Why? ----- Original Message ----- From: Florence Naab Date: Saturday, January 13, 2007 11:55 am Subject: Re: Ghanaians risk death for abortion To: [log in to unmask] > ***************************************************************** > > Note: Fiscal year of AAM is October 1 - September 30. > *** Subscriptions for 2006/07 Membership are now due!!!! > > Join African Association of Madison, Inc. for $25 per year > > Mail check to: AAM, PO Box 1016, Madison, WI 53701 > Phone: 608-258-0261 -- Email: [log in to unmask] > Web: www.AfricanAssociation.org > > ***************************************************************** > > > > > > > > > > I just want Vera to note that I appreciate her religious concerns but > she should call a spade a spade.The acquisition of abortion is more of > a legal issue than religious.
