96. that's nuts
First, PRIVATE medical decisions aren't up for opinion unless you're the patient or the medical professional.

Second, should I know anything about any of your private medical procedures and your decisions that led to them, no fucking way do I have a right to an opinion concerning any of it because your private medical procedures and the decisions that led you to them are not my damn business. The only opinion that matters is your own and in a professional medical capacity your doctor's. Yours is exactly the attitude that leads to poor decision making and feelings of guilt or shame or regret for those making those PRIVATE medical decisions and exactly why abortion even became an "issue"... busybodies with opinions they have no right to concerning someone else's PRIVATE medical decisions and subsequent procedures and voicing them. Busybodies need to BUTT THE FUCK OUT of other peoples' PRIVATE medical decisions and subsequent procedures that are of zero concern to them.

No, you have no right to an opinion about whether or not I have cartilage scraped off my knee or why I came to any decision about it or what led to my decisions about it. That's between me and my doctor - PERIOD. Not only do you have no right to an opinion about it, you don't have the right to even KNOW about it. NOT. YOUR. BUSINESS.

Once you give someone the idea that they have a right to an opinion on someone else's private medical decisions and subsequent procedures they WILL and DO believe they have a right to voice them thereby butting into someone else's PRIVATE medical decisions and subsequent procedures they have no right to do. They do not even have the right to KNOW about them much less have an opinion about them. You cannot divorce the "right to the opinion" from the "right to voice the opinion". That's exactly why the abortion "issue" became an issue.
