Reply #235: I'm a pro-choice male

[Tartiflette]

but I can still see that for some people human life begins at conception. While it's not an argument I consider sound, I believe that some (not all, and maybe only a minority of "pro-lifers") of those people who hold a strict "pro-life" point of view for such a reason, and particularly if they tend to hold a "pro-life" position post-birth, are not necessarily trying to "control women", but are rather placing a value on what they perceive to be life. As I said, that's not the position I hold, and I am firmly in the camp of women's choice.

Incidentally, I think that women's choice lends itself to a basic injustice, and would tend to favor a man's right to walk away from the entire situation within a certain timeframe after the pregnancy has been discovered and the woman has decided to carry, so long as it remains in the timeframe where the women has a choice over pregnancy termination. This would mean the man must abdicate ALL parental rights, including access. I realize this is less than ideal, and may not be a practical solution, but seems to me to be a fairer situation than the current one, in that both parties have a choice, and neither can impose their will on the other.
