How's this one. With my first wife, we had a choice. We found out
during her 7th month of pregnancy that she had a birth defect that if
she gave birth to the baby, it had a 50% chance of killing her.
I chose not to tell her, because I believed she would choose an
abortion. I, a man, not the woman, made the choice for her. She gave
birth and died.

That totally sucks. I am so sorry that happened to you and your wife.

So, you're telling me that a man should make that determination of
life or death for a woman?

You are putting words into my mouth. I never said such a thing.
Everyone has the right to self defense. If your wife had know,
and decided to abort her child to save herself, it would have
been justified.

Have you ever made that choice for someone
you loved based upon moral principle? I did. My wife died.

Frank, not to be contentious, but you should have told your wife.

I WILL
not let you or any other man make that decision for a woman. If your
religion (an show me one that isn't headed up by a man) wishes to do
that, then I'm against it.

I am talking about society, both men and woman. Everyone
has the right to self defense. That those who
oppose us say different, is just dirty politics. They
misrepresent us on the stem cell debate too. We are
trying to stop the sale of children's dead body parts.
The researchers are awash in children's stem cells
from other sources. No one's life has been lost
do to the lack of children's stem cells.

And, yes, "society" should tell anyone that they do not
have the right to kill someone else because they are
causing them "inconvenience", they decide they want
to buy a motorcycle instead, they wanted a girl instead
of a boy, etc. etc. etc.. "Society" also has the
right to tell "a man" he can not leave babies to
die of exposure on hospital tables.

It sucks what happened to your wife. I am so sorry.
