In fact, I can point to the actual post on DU years ago where my eye-opening moment occurred.

Ever since that moment, I have been 100% on board. The man has plenty of opportunity to weigh in on the pregnancy before it happens. Once it does, he needs to shut the hell up except to the extent that the woman requests his input.

Pro-choice (both in terms of contraception and abortion) is the only choice. Anything else is simply a crusade to turn women into incubators.
