- Actually, if you *ask* I think you'll find that most of us *do* think
- should have a say in the matter. But the final decisioni wrt abortion
- is the womans. It's *her* body, not his. If medical science can find a
- way to transplant the fetus into you instead of her,with the same
- saftey as an abortion, then I'll support your right to carry the fetus
- yourself.
