Why are even smart, liberal men freaked out by abortion?

An interesting piece from AlterNet...it made me rethink my debate strategy. I've always said in arguments with anti-choicers that of course it would be emotionally-wrenching and that I would rather not have an abortion. But, if I get pregnant within in the next few years, you bet your bottom dollar that I'll be in a clinic as soon as possible. And I don't know that I'd be that upset about it. So I've been compromising to say it's a hard procedure to get through emotionally when it's not. Sure, some people will have hard times with it, but it seems like I'm giving in to the other side's basic assumption that abortion is evil, i.e. that the bunch of cells not viable outside the womb is a person. Interesting indeed.
