Reply #64: I object to your characterization

Does the issue become less important if it also affects men? You marginalize men, especially the good ones who fight for choice, when you characterize this as being important simply because it's a women's issue. I'm a white man, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't fight for equality in housing, employment, etc. for minorities. The same concept applies to choice. Am I then marginalizing black people when I say the issue of racism in America is important to me as a white man? Of course not, but that's the absurd point you're making with the issue of choice, and seems an incredibly arrogant attitude considering you're smearing men who back you up on the issue.

The tone of your post suggests that this is important NOT because it might also affect men. It's no wonder that many men have turned away from the issue, considering it a "women's issue."

Perhaps YOU didn't intend to marginalize the men who fight everyday for YOUR right to choose, but it came across that way, and I thought I'd point out the hypocrisy of your words.

BTW, I believe the issue is important because it has the potential to remove the rights for a specific group of PEOPLE, regardless of their gender.
