As do women--in fact, women's reproductive issues receive far more
attention than men's.

No, you want someone else to *pay* for them, which isn't the case with
men.

Now, Hy, wasn't it you who was arguing just the opposite of this when
you said that men don't suffer discrimination concerning abortion,
because they can get one just like women?  Well, if you want to be
consistent with your reasoning, then I guess you'd have to say that
women should get their abortions funded through the government as soon
as men get *theirs* funded by the government.

Unfortunately, at this time in this country, faux logic accompanied by
nagging and whining usually *does* prevail, but it seldom has much to
do with equality.
