When does a woman get a say in mens medical care decisions? That's right they don't because people are allowed to make decisions for themselves and what happens in their own bodies. I can't force a man to do so much as donate blood, but you want a man to have a say in a medical decision that has the potential to kill me? Seriously?

I have life long medical issues due to my pregnancies, but I wouldn't change a thing.

I don't think that I know better than another woman what is right for her and her life. That is her decision and her decision alone to make.

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. I'm just saying if they want to kill unborn babies they should have to follow the procedures required by law and stop complaining.

When his medical care decision results in the death of your son or daughter. It's not complicated.

Following the thread, it seemed as though you might not be aware of that. I was just trying to be informative. I'm on your side on this issue.

So profoundly true. It makes more financial and moral sense for the government to promote, self control, if not, use of birth control, since it's really all about unwanted pregnancies. For the government to wait until an unwanted pregnancy happens to do something about abortion is really quite fool hardy. This is because the woman can always choose to decide to get an abortion, legal or not.

There is always suicide... I don't feel the least bit sorry for executing those who commit murder...

What if she was the victim of a rape that resulted in a pregnancy. Would you want to force her to carry that fetus to term ?

Hopefully, no version of that 'Handmaid's Tale' that is in your head will ever become reality.
