- Maybe you're not reading the same articles I am. This is talk.abortion -
- anyone attempting to remove the right to abortion *is* suggesting that
- women be >forced< to give birth. I've also seen someone post that in the
- case of a pregnancy, if the man wants a child and the woman doesn't, that
- the woman be >forced< to bear the child, and the man pay her cash in
- return. I've even seen posts from *you* stating that if you don't get
- your way regarding "mens rights", you'll try to take away women's right
- to choose, thereby >forcing< pregnant women to give birth.

- Stupid argument - did you get it from Kellmeyer? Both the woman and the
- man provided half the genetic material to create the zygote. The zygote
- *develops* into a child. The woman provides what's necessary to allow
- this development, but she didn't *create* the child.
