Actually, I think you could argue that abortion is a medical procedure that is enjoyed by more men than women.

Abortions are performed in this country long after the "clump of cells" stage.

I found Justice Thomas's opinion rather interesting, implying that the courts were going out of their way to defend abortion clinics. starts on page 47

The same reason they get cysts or polyps removed.

Until all Americans realize that Abortions = Murder, we will never rid the evil procedure.

I'd love to hear you tell a woman who lost her baby in the third trimester that it was no different than having a cyst removed.

Tell us this, what is the difference between a premature baby in the NICU and one at the same stage of development that has yet to be delivered?

The solution for conservatives is a vasectomy for all males at birth. With advanced technology, the procedure may be reversed at an appropriate age.

Why continue to waste more time and money trying to punish women?
