I object very much to the Supreme Court's decision. Abortion should
never be a legal issue. It is a personal and medical issue. It is
governmental interference in lives.

That depends on your reference point. There are those, me included,
that
heart and soul believe that it is the taking of a human life.

Precisely why men should not be trusted with a real-world decision
this important. You use your gut to reduce the problem from the
profoundly serious one of fitting a new human being into a family and
a society, to a matter of greedily counting someone else's chickens
before they're hatched.
There are three reasons why your opinion shouldn't be allowed to
affect serious deliberations by women who are pregnant: a) it's none
of your business, b) it's none of your business, and c) it's none of
your business.



A human life is not a haircut or fingernail clippings, just excess
tissue
to be disposed of in any convenient manner.



It is a potential human being, not a human being.

There is a big difference.

Evelyn, you know that you're wasting your time if you expect someone who
has never had a labor pang to understand anything significant about
childbirth. Abortion is a societal problem of women and they ought to be
the only ones involved in defining it and regulating its practice.

George Z.

Absolutely true. But the reality is that there are men who somehow think it
is their business, rightly or wrongly, either through secretly wishing they
were female, or imagining some kind of dominion over females, or some sort
of twisted power trip.

Take a look at the posters here who are always the first to pop up and
rant against abortion. They could care less about providing
conditions under which every child born has good medical care or that
its mother has a living wage with which to raise children. They rage
against welfare and the poor as blots on society. They would force
every woman to pay for her lifetime for the results of one sexual
encounter even if she had no means to give that child a decent life.

And the same right wingers who decry abortion now have taken
against efficient means of birth control such as the pill. They prate
about abstinence and the Bushies have diverted funds for women's
health clinics to a bunch of religously motivated groups babbling
about abstinence as the only moral choice. Although it has been
shown that such teaching has had no effect whatsoever among
young people.

I would wager that most of these men are proud of the wild oats
they sowed when they were just "lads" and see men as having no
role of any consequence in whether a woman becomes pregnant or
not.

If they were honest they would give their sermons to men as well
and point out the responsibility any man who has a sexual encounter
must take if the result is a pregnancy. But no, out of sight, out of
mind.

And they expect women to take them seriously. Please.

More promotion of human misery from the life is important until it
starts breathing set.
