I don't think it's a different discussion Gunnar; it's relevant.
I hear what Donovan is saying and I share his view when it comes to religious and political leaders (and strangers), primarily male, attempting to decide for women how women should think, feel, and act in regards to their bodies and reproduction. Fuck those dudes.
However, I think men need to be responsible when it comes to birth control and parenting. And, I also think that men should be involved in the decision to abort or not, if the pregnancy is the result of a relationship (as opposed to one-night-stand, rape, abuse/control...). Still, since the female is carrying the fetus, to what extent the male is engaged in the decision ultimately lies with the woman.
