Apparently the good Director is showing this debate to his staff. Does he realize he is doing my work for me? XD
This is his latest response:

So whaddayaknow? Apparently the Director has a lot of time on his hands, because he responded within the hour. Nice, nice. What was not so nice was his reply (which STILL somehow managed to ignore half of what I said! I hate having to repeat myself...):

So a while ago I took a look at abortionNO.org, an anti-abortion site that uses shock tactics such as pictures of aborted fetuses and genocide imagery (body parts of blown-up dead kids, photos from the Holocaust, etc). Frankly when I look at an aborted fetus I just think it's gross looking, I don't think it looks human.
There is very little I can remember before the age of thirteen, when I started keeping a daily journal with almost religious fervor. If I try hard I can remember facts pretty well - that I got up at six thirty in the morning to catch the bus at seven twenty-five, that my brother was in the same school as I during the first two grades, that I was in a fight in third grade.
Here's the thing - I'm not American. I was born in America. I have American citizenship. I'm white and I have very little accent. But despite my appearance, I am definitely not American. I moved to Israel when I was three and spent almost my entire life there. I may seem American, but as far as American society and culture, I'm occasionally clueless.
There are many incorrect assumptions about girls and women who have abortions. Typically anti-abortionists assume that they are young, had sex consensually, did not use protection, and were aware of the consequences. They are accused of being irresponsible, not wanting to face the consequences of their actions, lazy, etc.
Time to clear up those misconceptions.
