I dare venture that a very great many women would say the same thing; however, if you read what I said, I did not say that I opposed the right - I have in fact stood up for it in the past as I have women's rights in general.
When I refer to convenient, I refer to the great majority of aborted pregnancies, where it is NOT a matter of rape or incest, nor even failed contraception such as a relatively safe condom, but rather a matter of playing the odds and losing and simply not wanting to have to go through pregnancy to avoid the inconvenience, or burdens as you may, of bearing a child, and the way it is avoided is by ending the life of a developing human life form.
"Reproductive rights" sounds a lot to me like "zygote" and "fetus" - sterile terms that say nothing about the developing human form whose future is extinguished in the process of exercising those "rights". How about reproductive responsibility? A woman knows what the possibilities are when she engages in unprotected sex. Society did not make the woman the child bearer, nature did. And the natural consequences of getting pregnant are bearing a child.
I may support a woman's reproductive rights, but that does not mean that I like it - and I will have none of this bull about it being passed off as some simple procedure like having a mole removed or a tooth extracted. What is extracted is a developing human and that is something I feel that every woman who faces the choice of exercising their reproductive rights should face up to: "Is what I am doing for the sake of my own convenience worth destroying what would have been a unique human being and their entire lifetime?"
No, I am not a woman, but just so you know, I have TWICE been a party to such exercises of reproductive rights. Once when I was young and irresponsible and did not want to have the "inconvenience" of being burdened with the responsibility of fatherhood, and a second time when the would be mother did not want that inconvenience even though I did. Since she was the woman, and it was her body, I acquiesced to her wishes. Now, those two decisions stand as major disappointments and regrets - and if I had faced up to the consequences and responsibilities at the time I would have surely made different decisions.
No matter how much we might like to, we can never go back and change the past, so I think it is incumbent upon us try to make sure that the actions we take today do not become the regrets of tomorrow. For me, that means trying to put down as many positive footsteps as I can today and in the future. Sometimes with a glance now and then over my shoulder and some tears of regret.
