I suppose... I've been happy to let others debate this one. As a guy, I've seen men raise voices on many a topic, only to be dumped on because of their gender. Abortion seems to be one of the issues where this occurs. And yeah... since there seem enough women on either side to ensure a thorough debate, I essentially choose (or chose) to let them figure it out.
Seeing as it has been raised though... I'm agnostic on this issue. Perhaps though, I'm slightly "for" legalizing the drug. The way I see it, abortion is currently allowed in specific circumstances. This "just" adds a new mechanism.
Ultimately too - I figure that if a pregnant woman was desperate enough, she'd find a way to abort without assistance anyhow. And if somebody did that, it's better that they use a well understood method, have access to a doctor and/or counselling (both before re options, and after).
Sheesh. This is such a multi-dimensional issue really. It's hard to do it justice in a few lines. The only thing I believe strongly is that the answer, on abortion, is not clear.
