I find it funny that most posts here are pro-choice, saying the mother has the right to choose...not a mention of the baby's rights.
But in the circumcision thread, the baby should have a choice?
And yes, it did call it a baby. To me its a living human thing at conception and has the same rights everybody has/should have. To those who say that it can't live outside the womb (so its not a "baby"), its true but neither can a newborn outside the womb live without another's care.
Just my opinion. This will never be decided, and there will be no compromise that will be acceptable to the two sides. Some believe life starts at conception and some don't (until it viable, born, etc), so pro-lifers and pro choice side will never agree.
I'm personally pro-life (but i'm male so i never will have to face this decision), but do not think abortion should be illegal. Government should stay out of these issues (gay marriage, abortion). The tricky part is this that some consider this murder, while others don't.
But I do think that the male partner should also have a say (yea, not if rape/incest so don't go there). If she does not want to keep it, but he absolutely does, he should be able to, provided he take full financial responsiblity of the pregnancy/birth/mother during this time. But that is really tricky and have no idea how that would all work.
