Jeff, aren't you laying it on way too thick in your diatribe? Christian fundamentalists should by no means automatically be connected with the fringe elements who would bomb abortion clinics.

I do see the overall statement you are trying very hard to make. But, can extropians at this point really hammer these points home to the American people? Pro-Act has yet to even really get off the ground! And its funding will be infinitely less than its ideological opponents.

best wishes,

John
