Ursula: I don't know why men think they get to have a say in whether abortion is legal or not. If you don't have a uterus, you don't get a say. What worries me is the case recently where a woman was going to be charged with murder because she delayed her C-section and one of her twins died. Instead she just got charged with child endagerment, but is still going to spend time in prison. Here's the thing. If I don't want a medical procedure to be performed on me I have the right to say no, as I am over the age of 18. The way I see it, the courts have violated this woman's rights and disguised it with child protection. It makes me scared to have children because if something goes wrong during birth and I vote to save my life instead of the child's (which I would, since I could always crap out another one or adopt), I could theoretically go to prison for that. That's a load of horseshit, and I'm surprised that more people aren't angry about this.
