57. Skimming the responses there is one thing missing IMO

first of all, I am against anyone even considering having the right to order a woman to bear and birth a child, that is not what's missing in the discussion. It seems that universally the opinion is that it is the woman's body, and therefore it is her decision.

What's missing is that it is also the woman's LIFE - 18 years of it minimum - and the whole rest of it in reality, as a rule one never stops being a mother.
When I had my son within my marriage a long time ago he was a wanted child conceived and received with love.

When I got divorced I had him to raise from age on. There were bitter fights over child support, and the father dropped out except for a few annual phone calls to his son, that lasted a few minutes each time. I never once even had a discussion with my son's father about anything involving his welfare or schooling.

Women have more to think about and more to commit to than just 9 months of gestation and a birth.
That's my point.
