Default Re: Abortion/Adoption/Birth Rights

I'd say I agree with you. The strong rallying around abortion is indeed a reaction to extreme male-domination. It gave/gives females a platform to defend their birth rights.

My legal or philosophical feeling on this is that in a consensual or mutual sexual relationship (so no coercion or power inequity or forced sexual experience or rape, etc.) I think both parties should have a say in the birth issue. And that should be extended to the child-to-be but we live in a less than perfect society so I'll leave the 'ethics of abortion' debate out of this here thread.

One observation I'm making in my study of humans is that we have a total lack of responsibility for sex. I would say sex is the number one problem with humans....followed by acts of violence and aggression.
