Abortions

[Eilonnwy]

I know the issue isn't easy, I used to think pretty much like Binny did, and I can show you posts on other forums to prove it. However after a discussion much harder fought than this one I really had to rethink my position in this and came to the conclusion that the issue is also a serious equal rights infringement. I understand the reasoning behind the infringment, but that is exactly why I don't just flatout say it is right or wrong. It is not as cut and dry as some think it is.

Yeah, I agree. I think the father should have some input (Of course ignoring extreme instances like rape. It's obvious the father has no say there.) But when it comes down to it, I think the final decision should rest with the woman. The idea that a man could chose for a woman tips the scales way to far in the other direction, and it's not so simple to get people to agree 100%. I think the fact that it's the woman's body gives her the rightful edge.
