The argument that ``men shouldn't have an opinion about abortion since they will never have to experience it'' sounds very much like ``whites shouldn't have an opinion about black slavery ...'' or ``people who are not of military age should not have an opinion about conscription ...'' Are males so radically different from females that understanding is impossible? Are issues beyond the immediate effects to the pregnant woman already deemed to be so ``unimportant'' that people who are concerned with them are to be shouted down? Who deems that they are ``unimportant''? The women who want abortion, because they are the only ones who think they will have an oportunity to experience it? Sounds pretty circular to me. laura creighton utzoo!laura
