But, in the long run they are not the ones that have to carry it for 9 months. They don't have to puke their brains out, they don't get stretch marks (except maybe from all the beer), they don't have to quit their jobs...and most of all they don't have to go through sometimes 26 hours of Labor pains (which I was so lucky to have experienced courtesy of my daughter). When the day comes that they can and want to experience that, pigs will fly. That's precisely why it's a Woman's body a Woman's choice.

If he could go back in time, he would try to save the babies. But would his long-ago girlfriends agree? Or might they also consider the abortions a choice that set them on a better path? Aubert looks startled. "I never really thought about it for the woman," he says slowly. </i> I hate to generalize an entire movement based on the actions/mindset of one person, but really, that's all that needs to be said, isn't it?

Aubert looks startled. “I never really thought about it for the woman,” he says slowly.

I didn't hear about this latest gross attack by the forced-childbirth-movement, and while I am not depressed and frustrated, it's always good to know what sneaky and manipulative antics they are up to. And your take on "we're pregnant"- so how I feel. You rock. Awesome post.
