That's what I was asking you to do instead of posting snippets as you did below.

• Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers -- and before it can be his, it is hers alone. She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it.

Most of this is great and good for her! I'd like to think the woman wasn't a racist. However, the one that I bolded reeks of eugenics. Since when are handicapped children necessarily not useful or happy? Since when is it guaranteed that a pregnancy that is wanted doesn't result in a weak, unhealthy and "defective" child?
I was asking you to address the specific quotes that came from pro-life sites that you claim were taken out of context, but you didn't. Since you didn't, I now have what Tommy said I would, two sides of a propaganda quagmire. You also didn't reference where these quotes came from, you know citing your source/s. You didn't happen to pick them up from a pro-choice website did you?
It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but thanks for going to the trouble anyway.
