38. I am very interested in, and in direct opposition to an "opt out" option
I would love to "go there" with someone who would be willing to debate it. I wonder what supporters of an "opt out" option are trying to accomplish, public policy wise. How would an "opt out" option effect public policy?

Is the goal to punish women for getting pregnant by a man that did not desire this outcome?
Is the goal to terminate pregnancies where both parties are not committed to the child?
Is the goal to give more rights regarding reproduction to the sexually active man?

Please do not feel obliged to reply, as you have stated that you are not looking to go there. I am sure that this thread will eventually broach the subject.

Life is very complicated.

Thank you for your posts and for your civic participation in the debate. :kick::)
