Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

My views on abortion are so on the fence, and I'm not even going to get into them.
However, once more, I want to show you some love.
Our difference in opinions have never been a problem, and I don't think they will ever be a problem. LARGELY because we both behave like logical adults... but also because you are amazingly caring.
I do want to tell you, though, that I was/am strongly against late term abortions... specifically partial birth abortions. Admittedly, though, I'd never imagined parents finding out about such abnormalities so late in the pregnancy.
I had never heard of Dr. Tiller until this moment, but judging from those two things you linked, I wouldn't call him a murder. No way. For joy? Are you insane? What man would enjoy the pain and suffering these parents were going through? He was a true doctor. He cared about his patients. I'm annoyed that someone ... someone giving Christians a bad name ... took his life.
