Go ahead and argue about the right and wrongs, YOU won't die, will you? It amazes me how many varying opinions there are on this subject. Especially by those who will never have to face the personal choice. While I realize Father's have rights, they aren't the ones that can STILL die in childbirth or even carrying a child. I will leave the moral debate to people much more enthused about it. I came close to dying having my one child and I am blessed to have her healthy. I was lucky and lived also. However, it was a close one. For someone to decide my fate, other than me, is reprehensible. People that are SO moral about this issue is usually the very people who will actually bear NONE of the responsibility or consequences. If a woman gets pregnant, SHE bears the consequences of either having that child or getting an abortion. Both decisions have life long consequences that SHE will have to bear. Until having a child is perfectly safe it is not a moral issue. It is a WOMENS' HEALTH ISSUE.
added edit: I mistakenly emphasized the males in this. You are right, the majority of pro-lifers ARE female. However, none of those females should be deciding the fate of MY body. No one but me should. I had toxemia later in my pregnancy and had to have an emergency C-section. Having and carrying my baby was MY choice. That is true. However, I still think that however anyone feels about the subject, having a bunch of other people deciding the fate of ME or my baby is wrong. Land of the free my ass. More like.......Land of the far right, at the moment.
