I said what I meant.  A foetus only becomes a child if the woman  
carrying it decides that is her wish.   Looks pretty darn obvious to  
me and quite needing saying when even a blastocyst is being freely  
called a child.  You launched into a bunch of wild accusations  
against purported whole groups of women and what you think I think  
rather than what I said.  You then compared my position to a dictator  
and said I need a smack.  Who the hell is saying the more outrageous  
things here?
