My views on this (and I have 'em!) are basically summed up by saying, the right to choose whether or not a woman is to carry her pregnancy to term is something which cannot and should not ever be legislated. It should depend entirely upon any health or personal issues concerning the two parents but primarily the mother whose body is the one involved. A woman who waits until well into the second trimester to consider abortion is endangering her reproductive health, IMHO.
I have no interest whatsoever in hearing men's opinions on this, though I do appreciate those who at least approach the issue with an open mind and heart and who agree it is a woman's choice, in the end.
Anyone disagree with that? Then consider my proposal: For every occasion upon which a woman is not allowed to have an abortion even when she wants one (we are headed this way and in some states it is nigh on impossible to get this medical procedure for economically-disadvantaged women), we should also perform a vasectomy on at least one male.
No? Thought so. Keep your laws off my body. Sometimes the old rhetoric is best.
I am wondering whatever happened to RU-486. It should be legal and widely available in this country by now.
