I'm not a member of an endangered species, but I have opinions about
them. I'm not a sailor, but I can have an opinion on naval defense.
I'm not a child, but I support protecting children. I am not in a
nursing home, but have opinions about them. I am not a soldier, but
I have an opinion about Iraq. I have never been a slave, but I have
an opinion on slavery.
That is a bogus argument.

But lots of women are anti-abortion. Women are as split on this
issue as men are.

The rest of your discussions were about the abortion issue in general,
not the specific compromise position that I addressed.
