The way I read it, your assertion was that fetus' are basically the property of the woman to do with as she pleases.

Is that because you say so?

Are you serious...? Humans aren't asexual. Women don't create offspring on their own. They shouldn't be given absolute power to decide it's fate. It's really no simpler than that.
I'll support abortions as soon as a man can opt out of child support without being hounded by the government. But, you see, that will never happen. Why? Abortion rights activists (Especially the women) bitch and moan about 'a woman's right to choose', but as soon as someone advocates extending those 'rights' to men they suddenly change their arguing point. Why? Because they (You included) know that you're pushing across a gross inequality under the guise of 'choice'.

I didn’t say it was your point. I said it was what it boiled down to. Which is basically what all arguments about abortion boil down to. The inescapable assumption that must be made: when does life begin? It’s not callus in the context; it’s only callus if you believe you’re killing a living being.

It's not even about that. It's about being accountable for one's actions, which many people who seek abortions aren't (Evidenced by the fact that half of them have subsequent abortions). I've asked this question before, but have yet to receive an answer. Therefore, I'll ask it again.
The most given answer for having an abortion is "I'm not ready to be a parent" or "Having a baby would change my life" or "I'm not mentally prepared to be a parent". What do you think would happen in a man tried to give ANY of these reasons as to why he shouldn't be a parent? And how, pray tell, is that promoting the 'gender equality' that most pro-abortionists advocate?
