Questions to ask a pro-choice legislator: 1. Are you willing to explain why a baby's right not to be killed is less important than a woman's right not to be pregnant? 2. Are you willing to explain why most cities have laws forbidding cruelty to animals, but you oppose laws forbidding cruelty to human fetuses? Are they not at least living animals? 3. Are you willing to explain why government is unwilling to take away the so-called right to abortion on demand even though it harms the unborn child; yet government is increasingly willing to take away the right to smoke, precisely because it harms innocent non-smokers, killing 3,000 non-smokers a year from cancer and as many as 40,000 non-smokers a year from other diseases? 4. And if you say that everything hangs on whether the fetus is a human child, are you willing to go before national television in the oval office and defend your support for the 'Freedom of Choice Act' by holding in your hand a 21 week old fetus and explaining why this little one does not have the fundamental, moral, and constitutional right to life? Are you willing to say to parents in this church who lost a child at that age and held him in their hands, this being in your hands is not and was not a child with any rights of its own under God or under law?

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking sheet with the virgin olive oil.
Slice each eggplant into 6 pieces, each about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
Lightly season each disk with salt and pepper and place on oiled sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until deep brown on top. Remove
from oven, take off baking sheet and place on plate to cool. Lower oven to
350 degrees. In an 8 by 12-inch brownie pan, place the 4 largest eggplant
disks evenly spaced apart. Over each disk, spread 2 ounces of tomato sauce
and sprinkle with a teaspoon of basil. Place one slice of mozzarella over
each and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon grated parmigiano. Place the smaller~
slices of eggplant over each of the disks and repeat with tomato sauce,
basil and the two cheeses. Repeat again until you finish ingredients. You
now have four "towers".
Sprinkle the toasted bread crumbs over the top and bake uncovered at 350
degrees for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and tops are light brown.
Serve immediately.
