    I guess if I wanted I could be a dick and claim that I have more right to an opinion on right-to-life/right-to-choose/abortion than 90%+ of this thread.
Yeah, I guess you could but it wouldn't be true. Each one of us, male and female have as much right to an opinion on the topic as you do. You have NO IDEA what we have been through, regardless of gender. Don't presume.

    Sometimes what gets lost in this discussion is how much right a potential father should have to a zygote/embryo/fetus/I really don't care. It's the woman's body and I don't think a woman should be forced to experience something so physically stressful and demanding without being willing.
-I don't think a woman should be forced either, but I also think its callous and... well, fucking lame to say you don't care about the fathers concerns.

    Do some fuckin' science-magic and take the egg and put it in someone else or something for chrissakes.
-Yeah, I'll ah.. okay, do that and stuff.

    This is New Age bullshit I don't buy into
Did you just call my mom bullshit? She could soooo feel my babyness in her womb. Yours must not have been quite so babyish as I was :-)

P.S. Leave my mom alone :)
