As a person, my decisions regarding reproduction are mine. [View all]
Decisions by others about reproduction are theirs, and theirs alone.
My decision, at age 19, was not to reproduce, and I've maintained that throughout my life. It's a decision I've discussed with everyone with whom a relationship that involved sex might occur, and before any such relationship began. I've not had such a relationship with anyone who did not accept my decision not to reproduce and have been in two long-term relationships (over 20 years) with two people who made the same decision for themselves.
Very careful use of contraceptive measures has meant that I've not been involved in any conceptions.
My decision is my own, but involved others, so it has always been my responsibility to make my decision known.
For everyone but myself, my decision means nothing. I have no opinion regarding what others should do with regard to their own reproductive decisions. I'm 100% pro-choice in all circumstances. I fully support everyone's own personal decisions with regard to reproduction. Period.
For me, it would be the height of arrogance to believe that I should have any role in such decisions for others. So, I do not have any opinion about what others should do or not do in that regard. I believe that nobody should have any input into other's reproductive decisions. Those belong to each individual.
