Yes, I want abortion to be "rare" (and why it doesn't matter what I want).

47. I'm right there with GOPiscrap.

Sorry you can't handle our message, but there are a lot of us - who actually have wombs and for whom this is NOT a theoretical argument - who believe exactly that. On the other hand, your statements that you want women to have more access to other forms of "safer" birth control, yadda, yadda, is another form of the paternalistic nonsense we're hearing from the right-wingers who want to rape us with transvaginal ultrasounds, close down clinics because doctors don't have admitting privilages, and require us to watch propaganda about the birth process and abortion, all for our own good, dontcha know.

Here's a really simple message: everybody, of all genders, butt out. Our safety isn't your concern. It's our choice whether we drink or smoke. It's our choice whether we jump out of a plane or ski. It's our choice whether we take 4 ibuprofen regularly, or take the pain and settle for an occasional aspirin. It's our choice whether we wear button up sweaters or bare our cleavage to the navel. Most guys have gotten the idea that you don't mansplain about why we should or shouldn't do the things I've mentioned, but abortion/birth control? Well, clearly some people think that's different. Nope. Our bodies, our choice. Really, it's that basic.
