Re: Abortion rights and wrongs...Both abortion and birth control can be
used to evade male responsibility in reproduction. On the other hand,
women's health benefits greatly from the timing and spacing of pregnancies.
The "when life begins" issue, I suspect, belongs to individual conscience
and there will be no quick public policy consensus on this issue.
Also, in terms of normative, I can remember back 30 years when I was not
welcome in feminist groups because I chose to be married. Normative
changes greatly with time and place and culture, and is a risky term to
generalize. I suspect it needs to be placed in a specific time and place.
