I totally accept the criticism that it's unfair to throw stones at pregnant women when you are highly unlikely to become pregnant yourself, as in my case. I definitely live in a glass house in this respect.

Would you apply this to post menopausal women or women who have had their tubes tied as well?

I don't totally accept that criticism myself. I think it's similar to saying that it would be wrong for me to condemn a violent response to racism if I have not myself felt racism and am not likely to feel its impact in the future.

The only thing I am "demanding," as it were, is that the rights of a fetus be given some acknowledgement, especially when they are viable human beings that could survive on their own if they were delivered prematurely.

Had that been your point, you probably wouldn't have gotten any argument.
