[Grovenet] God forbid there should be a Freudian slip

[Geri]

Well, we already do have limits on when abortion may
take place, and already have legal definitions of murder.

RU486 is by prescription only, so the person would have
to be approved for it through their doctor, which makes
it unlikely (at least, less likely) that it is birth-control-
by-abortion.  My understanding is that for women who
qualify medically, it can replace a surgical abortion.

I do hope it remains a prescription, though.
