Sure, fine, I have Pat Robertson here and I'll ask him about what he
thinks is debateable...oops, hmm, he's quite sure anything that so
much as uses the word abortion or condom or even pagan should be
adults only or let 'em rot in jail...claims he has 100,000 parents who
send him money regularly who agree with him too. In fact, he's not
even sure any responsible person would let adults see that stuff
either...

you on the phone really is?
Sticky issue.
