Insofar as I'm entitled to an opinion, I'm pro-choice, or anti-life, or however you want to put it. Some random thoughts:
I wonder if the male posters here who think they can "forbid" a sexual partner to have an abortion would be willing to have the foetus transplanted into an artificial womb in their own bodies? This could be possible in the not-too-distant future.(

Currently, right here and now, pro-life women of childbearing age could offer themselves as receptacles for transplanted unwanted foetuses. Why is this not more common? All that money wasted on full-color blow-up pictures of foetuses beside fingernails could be spent on transplants.
Unfortunately, it's some bizarre absolutist concept of LIFE for LIFE's sake that drives the pro-life people; nothing to do with quality of life.
The late and sorely-missed Bill Hicks had a good suggestion:
"I'm not a girl, I'm a guy you know? But at the same time, I tell ya how you can solve this abortion issue right now. Ready? Those unwanted babies that single moms leave in alleys and in dumpsters? Leave about 12 of those on the steps of The Supreme Court. This is over. Like that. "You guys said we had to have them? Then you guys...FUCKING RAISE 'EM." "Raise 'em then, you fucking fucking raise 'em. YOU raise 'em. You said I had to have it? Then it's yours. Fuck. It's yours..Take it"
