Reply #80: THANK YOU, guys!

You've restored my faith in the male gender.

Yes, I have a uterus (no longer active, tho!). But I've been following the road to a theocracy with alarm, and abortion is only one of the reasons. But it's definitely a piece of the theocratic state.

I hope I've never bashed men in DU...I don't think I have. If I have, my humble apologies. When I read this thread, with some men saying outright they're pro-choice, some saying they don't LIKE abortion but they support a woman's right to choose (and that's a legitimate position), and PARTICULARLY those who have been escorts and other helpers at abortion clinics, I have to say I love you all.

To the guy who said something about if his seed is in a woman, he'd want a say in an abortion, I say to you:

If a man and a woman have a good, loving relationship, that would happen anyway. But there should be no law saying she must tell her husband, boyfriend, etc. Because not only is it none of the government's business, such a law would be all-inclusive. Doesn't matter if she's in an abusive relationship, or if her health is affected and she KNOWS he doesn't care, etc. etc. There are many, legitimate reasons why a woman wouldn't want to tell her husband. That said, again, in a loving relationship I too think she should. SHOULD, not MUST.
