should make her INFORMED decision. To me THAT is an absolute.
Does the fetus get to vote?

Here's the drill: Actions have consequences. If a woman has unprotected sex,
she should accept the results.

People of good will are in disagreement on the right thing to do about
abortion, and a lot of the most vociferous participants in the
discussion are people who are biologically incapable of being at risk.

Physical risk, perhaps. Men have no say in whether their their unborn
daughter's mother can take her life, but if the mother chooses to let
the daughter live, the father has financial and legal responsibility.
