@claireice >> It's never your own decision when 1. Two persons WERE involved at conception. and 2. there's a 3rd silent party growing inside. The woman may ultimately make the decision, but that doesn't make it right or UNselfish not to consider anyone else. Oxford American Dictionary~ definition for "independent": NOT depending on another for livelihood or subsistence >> Last time I checked pregnancy is 'dependent' on much more than a woman simply having a egg.

@djgras25 I don't' agree at all. It is not selfish when it is their body. It is ultimately up to the mother to make that decision. Mitch could have his say and she would listen, yes, but she herself would ultimately make the decision. It is in no way selfish to be independent and make your own decision when it is her body.

@djgras25 I totally agree. When a woman gets pregnant, the decision should be up to everyone involved, not just the woman, yes it's her body, but not just her baby.

I know Mitch is trying to be supportive but he does have some say in what happens to his own child. Dawson does too. I'm not getting into abortion because that's better left unsaid but it is more then just Gails baby. The way she was talking about how this is my decision was very selfish. :(

'Ultimately it's her body, it's her decision'. I grow tired of that statement. I realise the changes happen to the woman's body but in the case of a loving relationship there are two people to consider, not one.
