Ted, <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.> You realize that goes both ways, right? Some men are against abortion because they don't have to bear the burden of pregnancy. Meanwhile, some men are for abortion because they are afraid of bearing the paternal responsibility of the baby (i.e. child support). Tenchusatsu

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. No more hubris then the women who impose their decision on the unborn child. No more hubris then the men who pressure women in to abortions because they don't want to support the child. Also there are millions of women who are pro-life. But what might take the most hubris of all is to say that a group (men) that are almost 50% of the population should't get a say in one of the most controversial issues of the day. Not just "there wrong and the law should let the pregnant woman decide" but rather "they shouldn't get any input in to what the law should say". What about post menapausal or infertile women? If they can't "bear the brunt of whatever is decided" do they not get to have a say on the political issue? Tim
