Re: anon for obvious reasons

I think what you're saying is an important part of the debate because it's only ever women who have to give up their life and their career because of getting pregnant. In every case the man has a CHOICE that a woman doesn't despite the fact that it's the man's baby just as much as the woman's.

Basically, it's not a woman's (or transman's) fault that they were born with a uterus. And we're not typically allowed to get them removed (unless it is needed for medical reasons) so why are we the ones who must carry a baby for 9 months?

I also think people gloss over the fact that pregnancy is a medical condition and there are very real risks that come with being pregnant. Even if you're not in danger of dying there is a lot of illness and other terrible things that can happen. Your body also changes forever, why should someone be forced to go through that?

Yeah, I am only too aware of the last reason. I love children, and I would love to have my own child, but I also have several fairly serious mental illnesses, and I am still grappling with whether or not it would ever be ethical for me to get pregnant with the chance that I might pass something down to my child. Getting pregnant for me also would mean getting off medication, and there is a high chance of relapse for me, particularly for my bipolar disorder. If I was being careful with birth control and I still got pregnant I really don't know what I would do.
