I guess to answer the question about men having rights. Rights are only those which you can procure. Women have the rights to totally ruin a mans life. One phone call and a woman calls big burly men to beat up her man and throw him into jail. So what are you afraid of? Women wield the state powers.

I'm curious about something as I watch the debates around abortion: isn't Dobbs essentially good news? It allows the fight to be more local and for the people of each state to create laws that reflect their beliefs on abortion. There are folks who believe that abortion at any stage is murder; others who believe that no matter what it should be the woman's choice. These two are fundamentally incompatible view points; there's no reconciling them. But if abortion rights are decided at the state level we don't need to reconcile them. This is not an ideal situation (for either side) especially in the short term, but it seems a relatively reasonable solution for the country.

My body my choice in the context of abortion is just power projection without accountability. Your brain is a few steps away from: I have the power, my choice, you can die. If you can’t fight for the sanctity of life in your own body, how can I ever trust you with power over others? As soon as the pressure is on , you capitulate and abort (kill the challenge to self). No self sacrifice for another’s life. Before rape or incest is brought up as an exception, all I am asking for is that you fight for an innocent child’s life. Giving up for adoption to a loving home is always an option. I know many people that are unable to have children and they have abundant love waiting to be given. That is all.
