Abortion

[In case it wasn't clear, this was addressed to the thread in general, not to anyone in particular. Not yet, anyway. --Percy]Please follow the guidelines. I've never tested the "suspension of posting privileges" feature, but it's not surprising that this topic could be my first opportunity! One aspect of debate not expressly covered in the guidelines is evasion. That's because I find it extremely difficult to define. At Yahoo a few months ago we had a contributor who politely (indeed, much more politey than his opponents) acknowledged everyone's concerns, then said he would continue to hold his views. He did this over and over and over again. People requested that he attempt to address the contradictions, but he would merely acknowledge them, state his belief that they would in time be resolved, then restate his beliefs. This went on for a long time. I finally had to intervene.Anyway, even though evasion isn't an explicit part of the guidelines, it is there in spirit. Please follow the guidelines. Thanks!--Percy
