Leave physically stronger or weaker out of it.....it has nothing to do with pregnancy itself.

If somehow, magically, reproductive roles were reversed tomorrow, and men carried pregnancies, most men's opposition to abortion would disappear overnight.

You haven't yet explained why.

No, he wouldn't, but Harrier would accept it.

Abortion should be left to the several states.

Well, Harrier spent his first three days out of the womb in an incubator.

You shouldn't talk about incubators with someone who was once, a long time a go, and regardless that he doesn't remember the experience, quite familiar with them.

What are trying to say?

1. Fine.

2. Maybe, and maybe not--after all, the gender gap in regards to abortion might not be as large as you think it is--after all, many females are also politically anti-abortion. Anyway, even if some males are supporting abortion in order to oppress women, and even if the gender roles in regards to this hypothetically got reverse, the anti-abortion position as presented by some people (not by these sexist males, but by other politically anti-abortion people) would still not be sexist in theory.

Because you and Harrier spent the first three days outside our respective mother's wombs in an incubator?

Most men just don't get it.

They have never had to worry about all of the physical, financial and emotional problems a pregnancy entails, let alone an unplanned pregnancy. They have never given it a thought. Swollen ankles, aching backs, frequent urination right on up to life threatening complications and even death. They have never had to face something like that themselves. Lost education, lost jobs, lost promotions......all because BC failed. If they actually had to endure these things themselves.....they would change their tune about forcing someone to go through it against their will.

It's pretty damn easy to be an arm chair quarterback.

You being offended about an incubator comment is an example of how far some people will go to find something to be offended about.

Sadly, it seems to be the in thing to do nowadays.
