I had a friend who survived an abortion. He was one of a set of twins, and the other fetus was terminated, but he made it. Freaky.

I've tried to explain the connection between protective legislation, female employment, and the Industrial Revolution and the outlawing of abortion so many times that it feels like a rehearsed speech, but so far, I've gotten about zero interest from people who just continue to claim that Christians have always opposed abortions. It's really annoying.

Unless he was born at that time (birth was induced), then she did terminate instead of simply (accidentally) reduce her pregnancy.

Actually, from an egalitarian perspective, that argument *does* appear to make sense. Seriously.

Independently of egalitarianism, though, I see no more reason to force a male-bodied person to pay child support if his female-bodied sexual partner promised to get an abortion and lied or changed her mind in regards to this later on than I do to hold me responsible if I will loan someone a baseball bat only to discover afterwards that this other person unexpectedly beat several people to death with this baseball bat of mine. Seriously.
