Abortion rights

Today I posted a reply on Yahoo about abortion rights for women. I don't understand why men are so concerned with a womans right to have control of her feminine health. I know they feel it is "murder." But if you look at the legal definition of murder; this certainly doesn't qualify.
Women have a multitude of reasons for choosing to abort their pregnancy. A woman should not have to justify those reasons to anyone. It is a difficult decision that women do not choose lightly.
I have known multiple women who have had abortions. They don't regret it at all. Most have gone on to have children.
Some people argue that if you have sex you should have whatever children you produce - um no. Imagine you are a woman who is allergic to latex, or in my case birth control. You are with someone and you love them, accidents happen. Does that mean that you should give up your dreams because of a pregnancy? Should you stop having sex because you are afraid of getting pregnant?
It is nobody in the governments fucking business! Roe V Wade should not be challenged. If you choose not to have an abortion, or to not support abortion - than go ahead and not support it. But do not presume you have the right to tell another human being what they can and can't do with their own bodies.

  1. Right on! Being a guy, I am not qualified to judge a woman's decision to abort or carry to term. When I am involved in the decision at all, it is to offer that woman support in HER decision, not make that choice harder for her to make.

  2. Thank you Roger. I appreciate your opinion! It is one of the most difficult choices a woman could make, and one that is not made lightly. I just want politicians and religious zealots to stay out of the doctors office of others.
