- Oh please, this is not talk.abortion, no need to dance around the real
- issue. An abortion stops a developing pregnancy. It ends what, if
- allowed to continue, would have been a financial and legal
- responsability. It does not just "remove" it as if it's going to go
- somewhere else and latch on. Granted, with technology advancing, this
- just may happen, but I'd like to see it happen, because then there
- will be no need to debate abortion. All of these anti-choice people
- who scream that they'd take care of the children would really be
- forced to.... From my womb to yours, here's your chance. Put up or
- shut up, people. =)

- It's not just a biological issue. It's a legal and financial issue as
- well. No, there is never going to be any "true" exactly-the-same
- parallel because men cannot become pregnant. Duh.

- No, I think it's a very reasonable solution to the problem.
