    Thanks for the interesting summation of Quebec's religious/demographic
    history, Lloyd.

    I wondered also about the anti-abortion, anti-contraception connection you
    note. I went down to a Washington anti-abortion rally a few years ago and
    asked several demonstrators about his: I think some of them equated the
    'murder' of fetuses with the 'murder' of potential pregnancy/brith. Others
    were simply more interested in preventing abortion than in crafting
    comprehensive policies that would include contraception.
