The problem with every judgment of sexual behavior is that it is made by people who aren't being stimulated as they are making the judgment.

A shared choice movement sees the fetus as the genes of a woman and the genes of a man the flesh of the woman, the flesh of the man the bone of a woman, the bone of a man the responsibility of a woman, the responsibility of a man the rights of a woman, the rights of a man. It desires a transition to equality.
