A brief time ago, in tribute to Ronald Reagan's wit and humor as "The Great Communicator," I posted a statement of his on SoloHQ.com. It reads, "I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born." I was prepared for argument and criticism of the statement, given that I would be faced with an audience generally accepting of Ayn Rand's pro-abortion stance. Yet what I had received greatly exceeded my expectations. An example of this is a response by one, Ms. Elizabeth Kanabe: "...to comment on the quote, it's horrible. It's like saying 'I noticed that everyone here that opposes taxes still pays them...' or 'I notice that everyone here that supports the right to suicide hasn't committed suicide themselves...'. You had no choice in being born, and you wouldn't have ever known it if you weren't born! I can support the right to choose an abortion, just as I support my parents rights to have aborted me if they had wanted to! I see no conflict there."
