8. I'm confused!

If men were doing all those things, they'd be women...and it would be women trying to hang on to the seats of power--they'd be the men!

Here's how I look at the question of choice. It's not a question of sperm or eggs, it's a question of who owns the womb. The womb is key because without it, nothing happens. You can create an embryo in a dish, but that's all it will be without a womb.

If the owner of that womb isn't willing to be occupied for nine months--and that womb is the sole and exclusive property of the woman, not the man--then what the landlady says, goes. End of discussion.

I suppose the corollary to all that is: If you don't like abortion, don't get one! Problem solved.
