Feud, my reasoning for figuring you were upper to middle class and white and had not experienced much else came from your attitudes. Most people who have seen what life is like in the inner city do not wander around telling people how life really is and that a child (or, in your case, a fetus) is always sacred if the father wants it. I agree that children should be welcomed into a family that can completely support them, but that doesn't happen, and until education and a lot of other services can be improved for lower class, lower income people, you end up with kids in foster care who are never adopted, parents who don't get around to feeding their kids because they are too busy getting their next fix, and kids who leave home at seven because life on the street is far preferable to life at home, for many reasons. You sound like an entitled white man. I've met a lot. I know what they sound like. You fit right in.
I sound like an "entitled white man"? That's tip toeing along the border of making racist, sexist remarks to defend your argument. Has it ever occured to you that people can experiance all of those things and reach a differant opinion then you? You seem happy to file away opposing arguments as some form of racial class based elitism, but has it ever occured to you that maybe, just maybe, you aren't the only one who can reach conclusions based upon life experiances?
I'm trying to get you to look at the fact that you are taking away the rights of women by saying that someone, anyone, else can force her to carry a child to term. You aren't hearing that. You say you've seen everything I have. So be it; if your conscience is happier with forcing a woman to carry an unwanted child than with allowing her to be treated like an adult and make her own decisions, that's not going to change. I will not be splitting more hairs with you in this discussion, but I will allow myself to hope that at some point your blinders come off and you can see from a standpoint other then the prescribed one you have been fed.
I know what you are saying. I'm trying to get you to look at the fact that you are saying that a person's legal rights should be based upon thier gender. For as stupid and sexist you think that sounds, has it occured to you that I feel the same way about your opinion, and that maybe mine is just as valid as yours? If your conscience is happier with creating a double standard of law, where gender is the deciding factor of what rights a person is allowed to hold, that's not going to change.
Now, the grand finale of your argument, attributing my opinions to "blinders" and opinions "I've been fed". I hope it's nice to sit in your "pity me" bubble and decree that everyone who does see things as you do are victims of some form of social brainwashing. I hope that some day you will learn that you are not the end all source for impartial decision making, and that those who differ in opinion from you may have reached those decisions by seeing those situations first hand, and coming to a differant conclusion on how they can be solved.
