I'm an ex-Catholic and am very opinionated on this topic.

I've had a few holier than thou individuals bring it up with me and I've stated my arguments. First, as you said, men don't get pregnant (and religion should not be the basis of any law). Second, laws against abortion won't stop it, they'll just make it dangerous. It is horrible to think that victims of rape or incest should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term. Finally, reproductive choice may be the only thing that stands between a woman and poverty, serious injury or death. The anti-choice crowd usually opposes contraception and, as for that, I say it is none of their damn business. Glad to hear you shut up the little conservative smart-ass and gave him something to think about!
