MP: Hey Steve, WB. Please stay with us on this!

I'd generally agree with your opinion although I don't think it is, nor is it healthy 
to resolve it as such a black and white opinion. I would also quibble about the 
use of "rights" language and about the failure to acknowledge the man's choice 
in a concentual situation. But only because I think MoQ will speak about the 
issue on a different level.

What I'm trying to do is sort out if MoQ can morally support a singular position, if 
so what is it, and more so does that shed any light on how to go about resolving 
it on the social level? Is an MoQ moral position on abortion we might extract 
any help at all? Or would it just end up being a great personal guide, but 
useless on a social level?

I have faith [sniker] the MoQ is resilient enough to provide fundamental societal 
guidance.
