Jane and Ro feel strongly about the abortion issue for different reason's
The abortion issue is complex on a very fundemental level.
Jane can type very fast
glen writes a lot of posts that people might find amusing.
thumped is very opinionated
There's some aul one in england poppin em out.
Abortion discussions suck everyone into them. Strangely, the internet did not in this case solve a problem that's confused people the world over for many many years.

That about right?

On paper, MDR's solution looks more 'fair' by balancing the power more evenly between both parties.

You see I think here's where a fundamental difference lies in the mindset of many people debating on this thread. Ro's suggestion does not look more fair to me on paper or anywhere else, by any stretch of the imagination.

And comparing a woman's body to a car? Well I never!

yeah, last time I burnt out a car on some waste ground I only got a caution, but when I did that to my girlfriend, boy the cops were pissed!!

The use of the apostrophe is another thing that's confused people the world over for many years.

It only looks fair on paper, that's my point. If you see the situation as simply a power struggle between what the the sides want and completely remove the implications and physical/emotional realities then it appears that a woman is more likely to win the power struggle under the current legislation, whereas Ro's suggestion evens the playing field a little by giving more power to the man but at the unacceptable (to me) price of forcing a woman to give birth against her will.

And comparing a woman's body to a car? Well I never!

Now that's just obstinately misreading what I said ; the car was secondary, the analogy was about driving and control.

edit: this thread has relaxed a little but i'm still wound up, excuse the touchiness

You mean like this sort of thing?

What, like if we discuss gender, we have to pretend this isn't true? Because it is.

There are perceptions of men that are harmful, too, like that all men want to control all women, or that machismo is the highest form of manhood.

The only way to actually STOP pitting everyone against each other is to acknowledge that all of this is not taking place in some sort of social, political and historical vacuum.

Only if you know where it comes from.

If it were my quote, then it would be my permission to give, but, like the collective womb-gee that is womanhood, it is already pubic domain.

Of course.
