106. It was when I read this article last year that I finally GOT IT!!

As a gay man, the issue was one that had never before sparked a sense of urgency, and it's still not an easy issue for me to quite come to terms with completely. The thought of a child being aborted if she were deaf, gay, or has Down's Syndrome really troubles me deeply. But the image of women suffering the indignity of surrendering their vagina to authorities as a crime scene was an eye opener for me about just what it is at stake and why this issue is of such paramount importance for me to take much more seriously.

No wonder the right wingers are desperately trying to discredit this article. It's quite powerful.
