90. Well, that's rather rude. But I have a thick skin and am willing to forgive and forget.

The number of uteri that I have is zero. But I hardly see how that is any of YOUR business. Thank you kindly.

BTW, I have not expressed any opinion in this thread (or anywhere on DU) about whether a woman should have the right to obtain an abortion. But if I had wished to express such an opinion, I do not agree that I should be disqualified from doing so because of the absence of a uterus.

Many people do not have uteri. These include not only men, but also women who have undergone a hysterectomy. Are you saying that women who have undergone a hysterectomy should not be permitted to express an opinion on the issue of abortion?

In a similar vein, should people who do not own a gun be disqualified from expressing an opinion on the issue of gun control?

Should people who do not smoke be disqualified from expressing an opinion on laws pertaining to smoking?

Should people who do not use drugs be disqualified from expressing an opinion on laws pertaining to drugs?

Should people who are not in the U.S. military forces be disqualified from expressing an opinion on U.S. military action?

These are not rhetorical questions. I really would be interested in your answers.
