Am I the only one who thinks that's ridiculous?
And I'm not even against abortions on the whole, as I pointed out. It's just a grey area for me, ethically. I'm not even firmly on one side or the other, just sharing my thoughts. I don't like getting labeled a misogynist when it just isn't true. I'm not gonna be standing outside any abortions clinics, protesting and demanding them to stop or anything.

The way I see it, no matter how gray the issue may be ethically, when dealing with abortion in a legal sense it becomes a binary, black and white, two answer issue: legal or illegal. So at that point you have to boil it down to the basic point. And that point is, is preserving the life of the fetus more valuable than preserving the integrity of the woman's right to her body? Obviously the answer depends on where the line is drawn as to when a fetus "all of a sudden" becomes a child with all the protections of a human being, but if it doesn't qualify then the woman's right takes precedence. Period. An cap on this would only confuse the issue.
