Why the interest in female reproductive medicine and male?

I guess you don't get my point. No one is pro abortion! Yet you seem to feel that the anti label fits better on those you oppose and chafe under it when it is applied to you. Do you admit this at least?
If I have your position right you are anti abortion - or are you pro abortion?
If you are anti abortion you don't want abortion. That eliminates one choice. You are against (ergo anti) allowing patients from choosing that option. Anti Choice. I am not pro abortion. I hate the damn procedure and wish they were unnecessary.
I do not want to prevent you from not wanting this procedure. Don't want it to your hearts content. I don't want you or any one else to have the right to tell me which medical procedures I can or can not have. Like I asked earlier do you want involvement in my vasectomy decision?

I think you have seen my point but not the one you mention.
When the label anti is applied to you, you think it unfair. It somehow seems 'best' to you when you apply the anti label to your adversary's position.
Call yourself what you will; decide for yourself what medical procedures to undergo for yourself and leave me with those same options.

Best says you. If we must agree on terminology (and I don’t think we must but I persist for what reason I know not) with both sides agreeing in advance that neither label works perfectly I say I label your position anti choice and mine position pro choice. I take this stance because your position is against something – my right to choose a medical procedure that has absolutely nothing to do with you or anyone but me. I am for something – the right for me to make an informed decision about a medical procedure that is my business alone. I am for you staying out of my medical position. I am not against you having or not having any medical procedure you choose. I am not against you not wanting me to have a medical procedure –your life you live it. I am against you regulating what medical procedures I can have – my life let me lead it. Personally I don’t think people should have gastrointestinal bypass surgery to loose weight but I don’t think we should amend the Constitution to prevent it. I am for you leaving me alone in my personal medical decisions.
I am a man – do you believe you have a say in whether I get a vasectomy?

Best says you. If we must agree on terminology - with each side knowing both labels work less than perfectly - I say we go with Pro choice and Anti choice. Not perfect but as you say nothing is. You be against something since you are - my ability to make informed medical decisions that impact my body and my entire existence. I'll be for something which I am - you making your health care decisions for you and me mine for myself.

Gobbledy gook! We are talking about access to a medical procedure and trying to draw equivalence between that and stabbing someone won't fly with me. What about preventing pregnancy with contraception? Masturbation? Lust?
I have absolutely no quarrel with you keeping your rites sacred but keep your antiquated religious strictures off of me.

That's what I mean exactly! Find me one just one anti life person! I don't know maybe some dead end khmer rouge or something.
Instead teach abstinence only. Make it difficult to obtain contraception. Eliminate access to safe abortions. Do away with aide to single mothers and after school programs. Build tons of prisons. And use the death penalty ala Texas. What's the problem?
