The last thing I want to do right now (other than having an abortion. I really don't think I ever would/could have one) would be having my genitalia torn apart by a kicking screaming mass of gooey flesh. If babies came out of penises instead of cervixes, I think there would be a lot more abortions, but I may be wrong.

Now I understand.
So. a hypothetical, for some perspective/comparison.
If someone held a gun to a person's head, and said they were going to kill said person, but you could save that person by, let's say, agreeing to break your arm (and subsequently have the arm cared for by top-notch doctors), would you let the person die?
