What "liberal speculation?" They are Cherone's words that he draws the line at a dying baby where keeping it in the womb could harm the mother; or cases where the mother's life is on the line. They are his words that he is drawing a fair balance between the mother and the baby.--MHayes 22:33, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

I removed "A fair balance between rights of the woman v. rights of the baby." This is liberal speculation because it's something a liberal would say to justify an abortion. Since you changed the statement to say [1] "stating that he feels this is a fair balance of the mother's rights to live vs. the baby's rights to live", I decided to leave this in, since it changes the statement from a matter of fact, to Cherone's belief. --DeanS^talk 23:13, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

Thank you. I think it's important for everyone on a wiki to understand why changes were made (especially new users like me), and when there is a conflict of what the sysop understands, from what teh writer intended, it's helpful to the new writer to have a chance to correct it. Then if it still fails to be accurate or have the correct tone, the sysop should say "you had your chance". I just think that it's helpful to learn by explanation, not just arbitrary "deleted for liberal bias". It's hard to learn both the formal rules, and the community's practices right away. second chances are great, thanks.--MHayes 23:18, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
