[quote=Anonymous]The issues I have are:
1. No one should be forced into parenthood.

2. No one should be forced to carry a fetus against their will.

3. I know it's a buzz phrase, but it really is a slippery slope when you start legislating someone's bodily autonomy, especially when it's so clearly directed at one gender.

4. Again, the consequences of unwanted pregnancy are beyond misaligned, with women being disproportionately saddled with the real life issues that result from parenthood. It took two to create, but man so many men high-tail it out of there at the sign of unwanted pregnancy, and the courts are simply not enforcing child support orders, or even issuing them, in some cases. Two people's mistake becomes one person's massive burden that has life-long consequences. To ONE of them.

5. Sometimes people flat out cannot afford to raise the child or even the medical expenses to have the child. I'm pretty sure that's where the PP was going when she said why do people stop caring once a baby is born. The social services that support mothers who can't afford their children are under constant attack. No one is really lining up to help; rather "you should have kept your legs closed if you couldn't afford it" is the more likely response, as if it was some immaculate conception, but I digress.

6. With those in mind, I don't believe that abortions trying to alleviate those consequences are frivolous. Ever.

7. Where is the parallel regulation of men's health? Nowhere to be found.

8. It's my body. Get out of it.

That's what comes to mind initially.[/quote]
