    I think you took offense where none was given. Here's the quote : how much right a potential father should have to a zygote/embryo/fetus/I really don't care.

I think that shows a disregard for how much right a father should have. Keep in mind that "rights" don't necessarily mean "custody" or the ability to "coerce" or "force" a women to keep the child, but the right to care, to have a voice in your caring. To be distraught or excited about the choice. These are rights too that are too easily diminished imo. Whether you like it or not, the father is a factor in this equation. Does he have the right (in my opinion) to make the ultimate choice? -No. Does he have the right to be heard, to voice his thoughts? Yes, absolutely.

same disclaimer... half a bottle of wine. Shouldn't even be at a keyboard. Cheers though and by the way, every time I eat honey, I think of you pal. -Is that odd?

I'll answer that. "yes, yes it is."
