Pro abortion or not

[TheBeardedDude]

The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it's called the empowerment of women.
-Christopher Hitchens

Part of the empowerment of women Hitch is referring to is the right to choose. Which is to say that the woman has a right to make decisions regarding her reproductive faculties. The woman is the one who not only gets pregnant, but is the one who should have the first and final say in the actions her body will undergo. The notion that someone else can tell me what to do with my body is infuriating, and I can't see it being any different if that decision is for me to gain weight because of a growth I do not want and to go through an excruciatingly painful process of birthing it (even if I do surgery, that is no picnic). (I am also a dude in the event that is not obvious)

I am not pro abortion, that is absurd. I am not against it when it is a decision that is made for the right reasons. What are the right reasons? That is up to the woman making the decision, I don't get any more say than that.
