Why feel sorry for me?

Just because I'm female doesn't mean I -want- to have kids. Given the choice, I'd be biologically male (and vasectomized) - but the choice doesn't exist. Given the alternatives, I'm happy to be a sterilized female, able and in control of my own body.

And if I got pregnant now, I'd have no choice BUT to have the pregnancy terminated, because ectopics are life-threatening. And my life is more important to me than the possibility that I might be killing the next Elvis.

And just for the record: I'm pro-choice, not pro-abortion. I believe everyone has the right to choose what is right for THEM. Nobody has the right to choose what is right for me except me. Nobody has the right to tell you that YOU should be sterilized/have an abortion/give a kid up for adoption/keep a child you don't want. I'm happy to allow pro-life folk the choice of what to do with their own bodies, but I'm not letting them have the choice of what to do with mine.
