Isn't English a wonderful language? Someone on the other side of that
issue might have said "his work to defend legal and safe abortions instead
of coat hangers" to describe the very same actions :-).

It seems there's red English and blue English.

Not to mention real English from across the pond :-).

And anyway, infanticide is the killing of infants or newborn children.
Abortion is abortion. Sometimes I find myself making excuses for Mark,
Tim, and a few others that are a small part of my life. They live lives
in the area between "quiet desperation" (HDT) and "fear and trembling"
(SK). To them, the Zen of any situation must be smothered in verbiage
slanted to prove their point.

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by
itself. Think.
