*snort* I would be willing to bet that if men were the ones to get pregnant
and give birth, abortion would be quite legal and freely available.

Also, I think abortion *is* a gender issue. I accompanied a friend to a
clinic this weekend. Five out of the six protesters out front were men,
while only two out of the dozen or so people I saw going into the clinic
were men. It's *not* clearly a human life issue. The protesters didn't
seem to care much about the lives of the humans going into the clinic.
