Nope, that sounds exactly right to me. You can't decide the use of someone else's womb.

YES, I encounter this all the damn time.

THIS, same here.

Since you're whining about women wanting equality but stupidly thinking about it wrong (which others have brilliantly refuted), it seems like your last sentence is supposed to be about women.

Hellz yeah, Arlington.

I was about to post essentially the same thing. Perfect explanation is perfect. LOVE IT.

Until my copay for a Yaz generic vanished in a puff of magical smoke from the new insurance coverage of contraception, it was $10 for 28 days.
