    still not getting it.

    ATSJer - respect for not posting anonymously.

    but, i'm not saying i should decide which is important and which isn't. i'm saying if they're your cells (if you're a pregnant woman, they're half yours in the first place, and you are the one keeping the other half alive anyway making them ostensibly all yours) you should get to decide.

    you don't get to decide, i don't get to decide. the one with the uterus gets to decide (i apologize for speaking out of turn).

    i don't agree with forcing anyone into anything with their own body. i think that right takes precedent over anyone elses opinion of what is right or wrong.
