So only men make a choice to reproduce? Or is the woman's choice negated by the fact that she happens to be the incubator? And who decided that "once it's left your body, it's no longer yours"? Why is ownership attached to location? If a baby leaves a woman's body, is it no longer hers? Or better still, if I eat your jewelry, is it now mine?
We're still seeing a glaring double standard.

Those few women who actually abandon their young are actually doing their children a favor by leaving.

The males role? Provider? Now who's outdated? I could have easily been a stay at home dad, and then what? Would I be in defiance of nature?
