Mr. Hansen,<br> <br> That article says else where it happens earlier on as well. It WELL by the late gestation, which means it starts long before. I chose that particular passage because it is clear enough even for you to read. There is plenty of other professional research conducted to suggest that fetuses experience pain as early as seven weeks into development--which is before most abortions take place. I suggest you do some Googling. <br> <br> Planned parenthood DOES NOT offer assistance in raising a child if a parent cannot afford to raise one. Most of their site is dedicated to not raising a child, not parenthood. <br> <br> I am glad you listened to Tim's radio show. I hoped you learned something. And to answer your questions, yes, the Co-Op does purchase items from companies that practice what PeTA considers a violation of animal rights. But that isn't a hard definition to meet considering that PeTA considers eating animals, even fish, a
violation of their rights too. <br> <br> While I am opposed to unnecessary cruelty to animals, I am also opposed to targeting and picketing one local business man because we object to the owners religion. I have no doubt that Megan herself, did not target West of Paris on her own accord, somebody vehemently opposed to them pointed out the Foie Gras issue in the hopes that she would target this man, she has unwittingly complied. I find this behavior appalling and hypocritical. And no I am not a member of Christ Church, and I think eating liver is gross. <br> <br> To target a man because he has a religion we disagree with is discrimination. <br> <br> To cast a stone at a man for a crime (purchasing goods from companies that abuse animals) we are all committing ourselves is an abomination and a new height of hypocrisy in our community. <br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br> <br> <br><br><b><i>Tom Hansen <thansen@moscow.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote
