If i say the letter, "A", would anyone have thought that i just repeated the 'alphabet', or .
would it just be considered a simple letter? If i walk over to my piano, and press the key of "C", .
would i have just played a 'composition', or simply just hit a note? Let me go one step further. If i .

Pro Life organizations "believe" more than they "know". They are heavily weighted in the .
moral aspect of this fight, than the legal end of it. They 'believe' that "life" begins upon conception; .
