Big Thoughts.

We respect and protect a man’s right to carry a gun, even though people are killed through exercise of that right through accidents, suicides, in self-defense, and homicide (women have the right to carry a gun too, of course, but most of the killing is done by men). Why is a woman’s right to bodily integrity and the choice of whether to bear a child, even though the fetus is killed as a result, any different? Well, the answer may lie in the slogan we chanted years ago, pre-Roe. “If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.”
