Our colleagues keep talking about the issue of women's health and women's reproductive freedom. In ``The Merchant of Venice,'' Shylock thought he had won a great victory when he thought he was going to get his pound of flesh. But Portia, the attorney, said to the judge: You may have your pound of flesh but not one drop of blood. I think that is a good analogy for what our colleagues are saying. No one is opposed to women protecting their health. But those of us in the pro-life movement are concerned about when that woman's health decision destroys an unborn life. So, a woman's health decisions end when the life of an unborn becomes involved. ____________________
