...many pro-choicers concede that the fetus is a human being and argue that some people should simply be put out of their prospective misery, like a horse with a broken leg.

Your concern for the future happiness of the fetus is most touching. However, your position flagrantly violates the principle of individual liberty.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Former Maine Senator and Carter Secretary of State Edmund Muskie died from a heart attack early Tuesday at Georgetown University Hospital. Muskie suffered the attack a few days after undergoing surgery for a clogged artery in his leg. He came to national prominence as Democratic presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey's running mate in 1968. They lost to Nixon and Spiro Agnew.
