Men practicing their "right" to abortion?
ABC News: Why Pregnant Women Become Murder Victims
These cases seem to support studies from recent years that have found that homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women outside of medical complications.
According to a 2001 study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, approximately 20 percent of Maryland women who died during pregnancy were murdered. This supported the findings of previous studies in Cook County, Ill., and New York.
Experts and women's advocates are not surprised to find that pregnant women are especially prone to violent deaths. In many cases, pregnant women are killed by their husbands or significant others.



Murder: The Leading Cause of Death for Pregnant Women
Among all murders of women across the country in 2000—the most recent yearly statistics available from the U.S. Department of Justice—more than 33 percent were killed by an intimate partner.

This isn't about men practicing their 'right' to abortion, it's about men who cannot, and do not accept the woman has the right to choose.

Right, they probably feel that they are being treated unequaly. Women abort children all the time for reasons that have nothing to do with there bodies.

I was being sarcastic. No man has the right to kill another person. But them again, depending on your situation, the risk of a manslaughter conviction might seem like a better alternative than having a baby by that [insert derogatory slur about women] you had a one night stand with last month.

I doubt the same goes for the risk of a murder conviction. And I find your "sarcasm" extremely illuminating.

... actually, SCOTUS has declared that some men do have the the right to kill others

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

The part where such a man will kill you if you don't kill him first perhaps?
