ABORTION IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
PREGNACY IS.
This is not about having porno theaters in your neighborhood.
No one has abortions for fun.
You need to stop it at its source.
Stop unwanted pregnancy and you stop abortion.

I actually agree with that; Which is why I don't think someone else should make a life and death decision for the unborn; certainly not after they made the decision to allow that new life into their womb to begin with.
Birth control isn't 100% effective, so by definition that life wasn't wanted, so what you're arguing is that people should never have sex or else they have to raise the child.

Civil rights are violated when people are deprived of their basic rights in a discriminatory fashion. Unborn children are deprived of life which is the most basic right of all simply based on their location their mother’s womb and their developmental status. This is discriminatory, inhuman, and cruel.
You simply can't ignore there is a living woman on the other end of the umbilical cord who also has rights.
My opinion is that those rights were suspended the moment the woman chose to have sex.
I've never understood why it's a more attractive proposition for women to have an abortion than to put the child up for adoption.
You would not take that position if this was a men's issue. What if you were being forced to be circumcised because Jews control the Federal Reserve and wanted all men not to have foreskin. And not only that, going through the procedure was potentially life threatening the way they did it. You would be pretty angry about someone chopping up your member.

I was circumcised and had no say in the matter. The reasons why are beyond me but to compare a possible human being to the excess skin on my d|ck is a bit of a stretch.

More children die of poverty than abortion. But most pro-lifers don't care about poverty.

Nice pun. But I was trying to make the point about personal sovereignty and not allowing BIG government to decide how one's body is to be used.

Also, if men were able to become pregnant, I would assume billions in research would go toward the manufacture of an easy kit to abort that could be used at home, at any time during the pregnancy with side effects not lasting longer than one;s lunch hour.

Hey I actually believe in the right to choose. I also think that the choice not to have sex is an easier one but some people act like choosing not to pork is harder than choosing to terminate a pregnancy. It's those people that I don't understand and don't want to.
