ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Again, if there were a proposal for a web site to display the same information about men having their prostates removed, what do you believe the chances of that passing would be? Hence my mention of precedence. quote:
ORIGINAL: kittinSol I would agree with you if it weren't for the fact that abortion rights have been consistently hijacked and threatened by politicians wanting to distract the electorate from larger issues because it is such a conveniently divisive subject, and by an ignorant, superstitious and bigotted public who thinks that personal medical decisions concern society as a whole. No, this is about women's rights to make the right decision for themselves, in the privacy of the consultation room, and in the company of their chosen healthcare professional. It's not about everybody's rights, because men's medical decisions never create the public polemic that abortion creates. Yes, this single issue deals with women. The precedence deals with all people. It always starts with one thing. Think about it, this has the potential to be far more reaching than a simple 'women' issue. Also, I can think of several extremely easy examples, including but not limited to, transsexuals, vasectomy, ANY medication, especially those used for effecting neurological changes, et cetera, et cetera.
