211. OK then the next time please voice YOUR opinion and be prepared to get
a different response..maybe not in the CONTENT of the issue (meaning people will probably still disagree that a man gets any LEGAL right to limit a woman's right whether she is his wife, victim, one night stand or a prostitute)but in the context of the thoughtfulness of response.

You asked about regrets...you MOVED it to another issue...a very poor debate tactic in the first place and, as I stated, a deliberate rhetorical manipulation to jockey for something entirely different.

I DO feel badly that a man might get a woman pregnant for whom he genuinely cares and that she might shut him out of the decision for one reason or another, but again, those reasons are multi factorial.

I had a friend who was dating a very controlling man. They had dated for about six months when she began to notice a very negative pattern in his possessiveness. She used birth control pills and condoms, but he would deliberately break the condoms often during intercourse.

She ended up pregnant and did not tell him and aborted. I SHUDDER to think what course her life would have taken had she NOT had all rights or consulted with him.

She is now married to a very caring loving man and is ready to conceive. She DOES regret having AN abortion due to her religious upbringing but DOES NOT regret not carrying that man's baby nor having her life permanently attached to a man who was of his nature.
