Inflammatory Topics

So at lunch today, a very good friend of mine asked me what my opinion was on the topic of abortion. I looked at her and said, "Before I answer that, what are your opinions on ED drugs? Do you think Lavitra, Viagra, or Cealis." She of course said she has no opinion on them, because she would never need to use them. I pointed out that since I don't have a functional womb, that is exactly my opinion on Abortion. Then she asked me what it would be if I had a womb that could bear children. I told her that I would have to be in that situation to know how I'd react, but I suspect I'd prefer that I had the choice to make instead of having it mandated to me.

Yesterday I re-read the Harlan Ellison story "Neither My Jenny nor Yours." I did this because I'm thinking of turning it into an opera. So the topic was fresh on my mind when she brought this up today.

I honestly believe I cannot make an informed decision on this because it isn't my body on the line, and that it's grossly assumptive to make that decision for those who have that as a consideration.
