Do you see the logical fallacy in associating the "right to abortion" with the "right to privacy"? Why can't you associate the "right to kill a newborn in a bathroom" with the "right to privacy"? After all, if a woman wants to do that, it should be no one else's business but hers, right?

No, because no matter how important right to privacy is, it doesn't trump the right to kill a living being. The problem arises when determining when a being is truly alive. The right and their value system contend its when the egg and sperm join; some others when the fetus leaves the womb; for still others we can live [no pun intended] with the first trimester established by the courts.

What is offensive to me is how so many men claim to know what's best for the people who will actually bear the brunt of whatever is decided. Now that takes hubris.
