Abortion choice

What's hard to understand that abortion is just one of the choices women should have with respect to their rights to family planning and birth control information and services? It's not about restricting or eliminating choices but about expanding them to cover the whole range of choices. And it's about the right of a women to make their choice without those restrictions and without the interference from anyone else.

A woman's right to control her birth control options, including abortion, is between her and her physician. And, no one else. Period. And especially anyone outside her family, like you or me, regardless of our view on abortion. While it's our right to free speech on issues, it's not our right to interfer with her choices and decisions. It's her mental, emotion, and physical health that matters.

That's it. It's that simple. And sorry guys, including myself, we're not in the issue. We're only fathers, and have responsibilities and obligations with respect to birth control issues, but no rights over a woman's rights to choices and her decisions. It's the old and simple idea, we're not the one who gets pregnant.

It angers me that people, and especially men, have the (proverbial or literal) balls to say they have rights over women. Especially women over any woman. What don't women understand? We're not interfering with your right not to consider abortion in your choices, so why do you think your values should be enforced on another woman? Are you really so inconsiderate and insensitive to their situation you want to demand you control their body?

Would like us controlling your body? Or other women doing the same to you? You wouldn't and you know it. So why be so arrogant about other women? They have rights just like you. We don't interfer with your choices and rights. But you expect to have that over other women?

I'm not going to apologize here for my view on abortion and women's rights. I don't owe anyone anything about my views here, it's the same as you, a right to free speech. You argue, and often demand, the right for the freedom of choices in our life and work, but then argue and even demand the right over abortion. Sorry, you can't pick and choose like this, and you know it.

And consider there really are situations where an abortion, over the current restrictions that anti-abortionist say are the maximum they'll toleratere (not personally accept, just policitally accept) won't help. And that's where and when there are clear medical evidence that the baby has a serious disease and their life would be short and not without pain. Is life so important you would demand a woman bring that baby into this world?

Would you? Even after the birth and the baby has a short and pain-filled life? Is that your view of life? Force the woman to care for a baby she didn't want because she believed it wouldn't be a good life for the baby? Who would know better, the mother or everyone else? And you would believe abortion wouldn't be a choice in her decision about her pregnancy?

I'm always fascinated with people who express the value and importance of human life in a pregnancy, but then aren't concerned about the life after birth. How many abandoned babies are there? They don't count? How many children are wanting for adoption? They don't count? How many children life in dangerous homes? They don't count?

You're only concerned about a mother and her baby? Your family experience and your personal beliefs are more important than human rights? And the rights of people to make their own decisions? And then you demand we can't interfer with your life? Are you really that dumb you can't see the contradiction, or you decide to be blind? Is that your belief, blindness to the consideration for others? But simply focuses on the idea of life than real life? Real people?

And so what it's worth, I accept your right to speak on the issue, I just don't have to accept or tolerate your right to interfer in the life of women for reason that aren't humane. And I'll argue you need to rethink your belief. That's my right.
