could you enlighten us to this information about abortion that would totally change our pro-choice views? cause if you could show me something that would get me to change my views, hell, i'd probably be willing to convert to christianity too. but it's not very bloody likely.

oh, and k-wise, i agree with what your saying about how the victim is partially responsible. cause she happened to be somewhere where she ends up getting raped. i don't think it's really her fault, but she should have thought more about it before going there. here's my problem with what your saying though, and it's got to do with every post you've had about it... you are putting the blame on the victim, and not the rapist. if you had to comfort a victim, you might do a fine job, but based on the way you wrote about it, you seem to look at is as "well, that's what men do, she should have known better." the thing is, she may have known better, and there may have been nothing she could have done about it. also, you're taking all responsibility off of the rapist. and that happens alot. just in the way the news covers it. instead of hearing "man rapes jogger" on the news, it's "lady raped in the park." the unspoken message is that women are at fault, and not the person who committed the crime. using your example of going out of town and leaving hte house unlocked with no alarm on, it's still not the home owners fault. the person who came to rob them didn't know the door was open. he had to go and check it. he may have gone door to door looking for one, and that may be how he chose which house to ultimately rob, but if he didn't find one with unlocked doors, he very llikely would have just forced his entry. if someone's out to do something, the shit's gonna happen no matter how safe the victim tries to be.
