What part of "it's her body" fails to connect with you?

I call myself pro choice, but I still think there are VERY FEW cases in which abortion is actually justified. Do you really think that it's ok for a woman to do that for ANY reason?

I'll use that response next time you criticise my religious beliefs.

That's a euphemism for saying you don't care about women killing unborn children

The pill is only 99% effective. That one percent adds up to thousands and thousands of accidental pregnancies.

I can respect that. I know lots of people who despise abortion but realize that they have no right to make another's decisions or them. You're in good company.

You ducked the question, so let me try again:


if a woman gets an abortion without telling the father, even when it's her husband, isn't she being an abusive control freak??

Incorrect. When it's born, it's half his. However while it's still inside her body, it's hers.

No. She's exercising her right to privacy. How is she being "abusive" exactly?

In theory, sure. Legally? No.

Do you think a wife should legally have to be informed if her husband decides to have a vasectomy? I don't. It's his business. Of course, couples should consult each other on stuff like this - but it shouldn't be law.

Incorrect. It's poor and inaccurate wording used for the sole purpose of irritating me. I've clarified my stance on this. Please don't twist my words.

All crap like this is going to accomplish is put you next to fx on my ignore list. I'd prefer to debate this issue with you - but if you're going to be an ass, you're going to disappear. Fair enough?
