For example:
I've never had someone seriously threaten my life, but I believe self defense is moral, and if someone is trying to kill me I don't think it's wrong if I end up killing them.
And in other cases, people who aren't involved in the matter make BETTER decisions, because they can see the whole.
Example: An impartial judge. A person might say they're against the death penalty, or vigilantism, but if someone beats and rapes their daughter, they might change their mind.
So saying "you have no personal experience with the matter, therefore you can't be a part of the debate" is, well, wrong.
In any case, the purpose of the original post was to objectively analyze the arguments of the opposing side of a topic you care about. So tone it down a notch, ok?
(if it calms you down at all, I'm pro-choice)

"Choose partners carefully to avoid this situation" cuts both ways; "choice" is the operative word.

It is true that the person with the uterus gets to make that decision.

If you belive a child is a child from conception then does the means of conception change that?

Not an argument or even completely applicable to what you just said. Just another viewpoint.
