I have a lot of time for John Waters. I'm happy to see that he is allowed a voice beyond his books, because he knows what the gig is.

To be honest, I didn't finish reading the linked article, because the first half or third or whatever was enough - loud bells rang, my eyes went a bit misty, all that.

I know, I know - her body, her choice. To force her (as if I could) to carry the pregnancies to termination would have been wrong, even if I could have (I didn't).

I know, I know - it's all in the past, and anyway it's All Too Late Now.

But still, I know I would have loved them, and I know they would have known I did. But there you go...

Women do as well. They cover all this stuff up with rhetoric to make people think the process is 'harmless'.

What is the meaning of maternity really? Is is it some beautiful, divine gift of life or is it just a biological function akin to excretion? If it's the former, then abortion is a terrible thing to do and we should be able to say so - irrespective of whether it should be allowed.

And if it's the latter, then mothers shouldn't have any special say in what happens to their offspring after birth that fathers don't have. They don't know better and shouldn't be treated as if they do.

Pick one.

One cannot force a woman to carry to term because that would be taking privacy away from an individual. If you don't that risk either a termination or child support then protect yourself. Don't leave it in anyone else's hands wear a condom.

It's best not to get attached to a fetus, it's just a hypothetical until it's born, THEN you should get very attached to the actual baby.

That's because they just murdered someone

They should just man up! /s

But yeah, of course they do. It's stupid to think only women experience these things.
