This is a good example of a logical fallacy called "argumentum ad verecundiam,"
or "appeal to authority."

The argument about abortion is far more a "moral" issue than it is a medical
one. Therefore, the fact that your 88 year old mother is an RN has no probative
or persuasive value in the argument.

If you wanted to make an argument like that, you'd have done better to say, "My
88 year old mother, a federal prosecutor for about 65 years, says it is murder."

Did you pick up that burgundy paint for my Four Winns?

If you
waited 45 seconds and 14" that baby would be in the doctors arms. Then is
it OK to poke it in the head and suck out it's brains? And this is a lady
who supports abortions.

If you dislike and distrust government so much, then why do you support
a political ideology which relies on greater governmental control and
involvement?

The Patrioit Act?
Partial Birth Abortion? (even my 79 yr. old reasonably conservative mother
says that's an invasion of women's bodies)
Government headcount growing at a faster pace than ever in history?
Bigger Gov't deficits than any other time in history?

Are you assuming I'm a Republican Dave?
