Personally, I remain incredulous when a male states a position on this issue...I mean...it has nothing to do with their bodies, at all...after conception, we're way past that point and "Posession is 9/10's of the law." A male's position is entirely irrelevant when it comes to pregnancy. The time for a male to exercise his biological right/choice to reproduce or not to reproduce, is prior to arousal. Vasectomy. Now...to me "choice" and pro-choice are the same... "pro-life" means "anti-Woman"... Being a Woman, I can tell you that I could not abide in a culture that would attempt to force me...with legislation and the threat of prosecution...to gestate. It is absurd to try.

Choice vs. No Choice Right...a person can choose for themselves to abort or not to abort. That's how one can be "pro-choice" and "pro-life", simultaneously. It's more appropriate to refer to the 2 sides of this debate as those in favor of a Women's right to reproductive self-determination and those in favor of legislating the denial of that Constitutional and Natural right to reproductive self-determination. I don't think the actual physical process of expelling the contents of the uterus is anything to look forward to with delight...however, the alternative to abortion is frequently extremely undesirable. I wish people understood this better: -Any males opinion of abortion is irrelevant. -A male will never experience pregnancy...it's an "N/A" situation for males. Obviously they will have opinions...and some will act out their frustration with homicidal acts of terrorism. Women are used to losing the contents/lining of that "creative"* organ on a monthly basis...it's part of female fertility. Women as a group are by nature predisposed to nurture all life. Aborting one's pregnancy is an act of destruction, however, one is terminating prematurely/aborting, a process of nurturing a potentially autonomous life-the fetus, at whatever stage of development, is a part of the Mothers biological system while attached umbilically...and She has ultimte control of it's destiny in a real way that cannot be legislated. {I say "creative" organ because mr. Neocon-the-Napolitan, informed me that Women create with their ovaries and uteri, where as _men create with their "minds and hands"},like the Columbine Boyz...?* I choose against the futility of "citing studies". To me BLT, "pro-choice" is a redundacy... Now where's the Pennyroyal Tea?
