really; I guess that I just find women's perspectives more vested on this topic).
Should a woman who engages in sexual activity as a willing participant be at all
responsible for becoming pregnant? Barring rape or contraceptive failure, hasn't

she be able to abort? Is the pregnancy *really* against her will? Her will was
to play sexual roulette-- shouldn't she have to endure the consequences of her
actions?
