Another aspect of the baby/no baby choice that only affects the woman, of course, is the actual pregnancy. Pregnancy is a hugely draining physical experience that can often be flat-out dangerous. I really feel very strongly that it's the sort of thing that a person (by which I mean a woman, since men can't) should be able to enter into with full knowledge and adequate preparation. Adequate education about birth control, and social conditions that make it easy and comfortable for everyone to use birth control would go a long way. I wish that people from both sides of the issue could focus on that, a little more.
