But it has been a one sided conversation. Many people believe that there are two individuals involved in the abortion debate, the mother and the child. We are not allowed to talk about the child for fear of making the mother feel guilty for her choices, which is exactly why the sonogram issue is of paramont importance to the pro-abortion crowd.

Until those born male can get pregnant, those born female (regardless of one's current gender identity), in other words those of us with a uterus, are the authorities.
Yes, we've heard that in just about every conceivable conversation on these forums. I'm fully aware that many believe that as a white male, I am not allowed opinions on subjects involving women or people of different ethnic backgrounds. I don't accept the premise, but I am keenly aware of the opinion.

One of the most unfortunate aspects of a sexist, misogynistic society is the control of women's reproduction by men in authority, such as seen by the reprehensible actions of the state of Virginia.
I'm always surprised to see people cast themselves as victims to those evil "men in authority", when it would be just as easy to consider that someone, regardless of gender, was interested in protecting the unborn and actually had no interest in controlling women.

Universal respect for women, and for our rights to be sexual with whomever, whenever, and however we choose
I certainly have respect for women and their rights, but I understand that each right comes with a corresponding responsibility. You can't enjoy one without accepting the other, otherwise it's not a "right" but rather an extravagence.
