Debian isn't Soviet Russia or the PRC or pre-war Afghanistan. Calmly discussing peoples' "should" beliefs is a worthy task. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. [QUOTE] Casey asked Johnson if doctors tell a woman that the abortion procedure they might use includes "sucking the brain out of the skull." "I don't think we would use those terms," Johnson said. "I think we would probably use a term like 'decompression of the skull' or 'reducing the contents of the skull.'" The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?" Johnson, though, said doctors merely want to be sensitive.
