(and excuse me, is believing in abortion like believing in God? Really?) I ask him if he's ever been pregnant. I'm willing to go on and ask him if any of those pregnancies have been diagnosed as incompatible with life? And on, and on.

Abortion is NO ONE'S decision other than those specifically involved, meaning the woman and her doctor.
