OK, I’m coming out of the closet. I’m pro-life.

107. Nope, not over to me at all

Nope, not over to me at all, as I'm the wrong gender to make the decision, so I'm doing what everyone else here has apparently been doing this morning, sitting behind my computer typing out words that aren't going to matter at all in the long run.

I, as a man, will never be pregnant, and as such, will never have to make such a decision.
My wife is past childbearing age, and so it's a non-issue there.
Each of our sets of daughters are grown women in their late-20's and early 30's, so they are quite capable of making decisions without any input from me or anyone else.

I have examined my own beliefs and convictions, and do so daily, as a thinking person should. That you do not see my reasons for them are because you do not know me, and you do not see into my thoughts; this does not mean that I consider my reasons as mere rhetoric, or that I believe the way I do for reasons that have never been examined. You call it rhetoric, I call it reason... potato, potahto... I don't expect to convince anyone of anything, and if anyone's seen anything different in what I've said, sorry... was only showing up here for discussion, not demagoguery.
