i want women to have access to birth control -- i want them to have access to

[xchrom]

reproductive health care --

i don't care how rare abortion is -- i do care that the procedure is safe and available to women of all economic backgrounds -- it's about health.

as a man -- it's none of my business how a woman conducts her personal health care.

if a woman can't afford to have a baby -- don't have it -- pure and simple.

for me -- it's not about 'privacy' -- it's whether or not a woman OWNS her body.
it always has been.

it's her body -- and we all need to find a way to deal with that.

1. as a woman, i agree. i had to come to the realization, as a woman, that i have tons more

opportunities and safety nets than a lot of women. so you a man, i sit with you, and agree. good post.

3. ...

[question everything]

2. I want men to get their heads, minds, and hands

literally and figuratively out of a woman's body.

And away from doctors' offices and abortion clinics.

12. The majority of people in congress passing legislation are men.

And your link shows more men than women want stricter restrictions. It also lists regions in US as "Northeast, Midwest, South, Women". FWIW.

What are your opinions on abortion access and restrictions?

FFS you'd think abortion was just about to be ruled on by the Supreme Court, instead of being legal for the last forty fucking years!!

11. I agree.

I am perplexed by this recent abortion debate on DU.
