Dave,
With all due respect, to compare (a) watching a tiny, innocent human
being salted and/or dismembered in the womb (or partially delivered
outside the womb) with (b) smelling vomit or (c) watching sausage being
made is quite unconscionable and unreasonable. This is an example of why
science devoid of morality and Christian ethics has a bad name and an
even worse track record.
Sincerely,
David R. Bundrick

Moorad,
This is a silly response, for many things are repulsive. I happen to be
especially sensitive to vomit or its smell, but not to blood. However
many people find watching any operation exceedingly unpleasant,
especially the first time. Many of them have to look away, feel queasy,
or faint. I recall my Dad when he cut his finger. As he was being
bandaged, he had to sit down before he fell down. How many men have
problems when admitted to the delivery room with their wives? I recall a
class taken on a field trip to a tuna cannery. Most of them could no
longer eat tuna for months or years. I understand that an abattoir is
worse. What about the brouhaha over dissections in introductory zoology
classes? What's the proverb: You don't want to see either laws or
sausages made?
Dave

Forget about questions #1...#4. Let every respondent see a
medical film of what abortion entails and then ask them your favorite
questions. There is no reason to ask questions to people that do not
actually know what they had done to the unborn.
