Pregnant girlfriend tricked into taking abortion pill; 'The baby was lost

148. Give me a break. Vaginal sexual intercourse isn't equivalent to breathing air or eating food.

No one needs it to live. And if simple physical release is needed, there are many alternatives that don't risk making someone pregnant. Some you can even do independently.

The situation of a woman with respect to an illegal abortion isn't the same -- it's still her body and should be her right to choose.

Think about it this way. When my husband and I wanted to have children, I was the one who had to take all the physical risk. And in my case, I ended up in two high risk pregnancies, one that was actually life-threatening. I didn't whine that it wasn't fair that my husband didn't have to take that risk. It was just the way it was if the two of us wanted to have children.

If you want to blame anyone, blame nature. It's because a full-term pregnancy can (at this point in time) only be carried by a person with a uterus -- who is in charge of her uterus -- that only women risk their lives in pregnancy and only women can decide whether to abort or not.

Men don't get to choose whether to abort and they also don't have to risk their lives in pregnancies. But once men CAN carry a pregnancy, I'm completely in favor of them getting to choose whether to continue it or abort.
