And if we want to make it a vote thing, IMO, only the women should be allowed to vote on that one. I think that's just crazy. The pro-life position makes, sense. The pro-choice position makes sense. (each given certain assumptions about the status of the fetus), but your position doesn't. Either abortion results in the killing of millions of innocent humans, in which case its a major important human rights issue that is properly the business of all; or restricting it is a human rights violation against the women, in which case its also a major human rights issue that is properly the business of all. If the former then its properly the business of all to try to stop abortion; if the later its properly the business of all to prevent restrictions. Either way its not something that just some sub-group can get some say in. One could view the status of the fetus as something that changes at some point during pregnancy, and not at either conception or birth, but that doesn't really change the point from the last paragraph, it would just mean that restrictions against it where a violations of the woman's right before that point, and a violation of the fetus's rights after that point.
