This begs a lot of questions. Why not state it differently: that the
right to bear and raise a child in humane conditions is the simple
precondition for any sort of feminism.
The fact that only the woman bearing a child has the right to decide
whether she will bear it or not is indisputable, but it is not an
adequate foundation for a political movement whose aim is to recast the
relationship between the sexes, and the relationship between man and nature.

I know what you're saying, but think about it. Having sex without
pregnancy is extremely unthreatening for men.
They've kept us in such a buzz about abortion that we have completely
forgotten the other argument we should be having: about one's rights
after birth.
