I agree with you jwschmidt that this is not a conversation for politics, nor should it be a matter of law.

I'm talking about the framing of the question of the father's rights to abortion on a liberal e-zine women's blog which has been openly discussing father's rights in other ways over the past week or so.

Or really having the conversation at all. I've never heard a pundit, political or otherwise discuss this topic. In fact its rarely ever brought up in polite company, simply because of the extremity of emotions the subjects of abortion, women's rights, and sex bring up.

You see this even in two of the posters to my above comments, who clearly never took the time to read what I actually wrote and just immediately formed an opinion and decided I was wrong, even though I addressed and validated the points they brought up.

I'm not making a judgemnt or trying to decide right from wrong. I'm asking we have the conversation. Civilly and openly.
