The rights of a woman.

Could you provide the link to where the original statement was made so I can see the context of the comment?I understand what you are trying to ask, I think. Is it possible for you to make your post more to the point and less emotional?I think what you are asking is: Does a healthy woman, who chose to have sex with a man really have the right to terminate a normal healthy pregnancy if it is undesired? If yes, what or who gives her that right?What gives her the right to knowingly engage in sexual intercourse, which has the sole purpose of reproduction, but terminate the reproductive process once it has begun?If that is what you are wanting to discuss, I suggest you word your OP better, less emotional.As worded, it is going to go down the wrong path.Putting the shoe on the other foot.Does a man have the right to engage in sexual intercourse, which has the sole purpose of reproduction, if he does not truly wish to reproduce?IOW, what gives humans the right to engage in sexual intercourse if they don't wish to reproduce?Maybe looking at both those question would be better way for the discussion to go to avoid the abortion issue. Just a thought.

Are you sure you aren't the one emotional abou tit, I do not feel I was emotional.

Quite possible since I'm a woman.

But replace the word reproduce with "support the child." ??

How about reproduce and support the child.I think you need to work the word healthy into it also, to avoid that pitfall. Same for the statement on men. If yes, what gives him that right?

Should I propose another topic, or edit this one? I would not like to see all the current responses as part of the thread.

Just rework the OP. I will only promote the OP, not the comments. Were you wanting this in coffee house or social issues?New title possibility since you're talking about men and women.
Rights of Consentual SexMaybe you can think of something better, but I suggest trying to narrow the title to fit the healthy outlook you are going for.

Participants can make their case in the discussion if they disagree with the statement.

I don't know how that applys, because a man cannot get an abortion.
Unless we are talking about the mans opinion only.

But he can influence the woman's decision to get an abortion or give the child up for adoption.You wanted to talk about rights not abortion. Just a suggestion, your choice.Revise the OP and I'll promote the topic for you.
