Ake won't take any notice of this article because of where it was published.

Only the sum of the parts?

The paragraph that stood out for me was this: "Someone dealing with the actual decision to terminate a pregnancy isn't ignoring the issue that dominates pro-life legislation – the moment when life begins – she is simply unable to ignore the other questions that need to be answered: is she ready for a child? Who is the child's father – and is he ready? And, yes, how does she feel about the act that brought the child into being?"

From the comments, this struck others the same way. There are some more masculist (not happy about that word, really) responses, but even the opposers of abortion are fairly reasonable.
