Toni,

Thanks for reading and responding,

I understand what you're saying. I'm married, so let's say my wife gets pregnant. Like you said, let's say we agree that termination is our chosen option. That's the key right? We agreed. It's still her choice. If we didn't agree, it would still be her choice (either way) and I would have to abide by it. That happened to my brother in law. His wife got pregnant with their third child. She got very sick having their second child and he didn't think it was worth the risk to go to term with their third child. She had the child anyway. At the time, he was not happy about it. It was still her choice. She got sick, but she survived. They now have 2 daughters and a son and he loves all of them. So, it turned out she was right :).

There are a couple of things I should acknowledge:

1. Women that care about the men in their lives typically consider their feelings when they make their decision. That's important to note. I'm not trying to characterize an us versus them dynamic between men and women.

2. I think men generally better off with women having the choice then the government having the choice. I feel like this is really the point you are trying to make, and on this I do agree.
