Honestly Colossus, I don't have the heart to go through yet another abortion discussion on here. Most of you are men, and I will say there are more than a few men on this board who have extremely disconcerting attitudes towards women to begin with. I personally think, and the numbers point it out, that a large percentage of the women having abortions worldwide do so because they either have been abandoned by the father, the father has encouraged them to abort, or the father was never a permanent fixture to begin with. It's all very nice that you're one of the good guys... it's wonderful that you enjoy being a father. If I were to find myself pregnant tomorrow, I wouldn't have an abortion. But I also have support, and don't suffer financially. If I wanted to, could even do it alone. The women seeking abortions are often desperate, poor, and without a father/support, and I support their right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. What may seem like a beautiful, extraordinary experience to someone like you, can be nothing more than an extremely desperate, distressing situation to another. I'm sorry if that offends you.
And I don't think it's irreverant to bring up the issue of forcing a woman to potentially endure medical problems as a result of being forced to give birth. Every woman should have the right and liberty to pursue her aspirations without bodily interference by the state, just as men do. If there was even a possibility of an issue like this affecting your sex, I think you'd look at things a little differently. Men don't bother to stop and think about that at all!
