Why are men in the forefront of the recent anti-abortion protest? "We are protecting life," the signs read. "Stop the murder of children." This has to be the patriarchy which believes men must be allowed to impregnate whoever they want, with no consequences or impediment. For them, the egg a man fertilizes is holy and inviolate. Nothing must be allowed to prevent a man making women pregnant as many times as he wants. Thankfully we now live in an age where women can vote, become Vice President, choose who they want to have sex with or marry and are legally the equals of men. Women, therefore, must get to decide for themselves about their own bodies. That is their right. Hopefully for their health they can get the best medical advice. A woman's body doesn't belong to men. A woman has the right to decide for herself whether to bring a child into the world. Women, after all, bear the child. If a man gets a woman pregnant, it's his job to take responsibility. If men really wanted to make a difference, instead of picketing clinics and harassing women, they should channel their efforts into making sure every young man and woman get an education about their sexual responsibilities.
