Why are pro-choicers sexist against men with uteruses?

    Pre-op transgendered men can get pregnant, however abortion proponents constantly refer to it as an issue of "women's rights", when it isn't. This is sexist and implying that only women have uteruses, but this is not true.

    If you refer to abortion as an issue of 'women's health/rights', you are a sexist and you're implying that transgendered men don't count.

    Abortion is an issue of rights for anyone with a uterus, man or woman.

    The part of their anatomy that allows them to get pregnant is female, therefore, it is still a woman's issue.

    But this is just semantics anyway. I've never seen any pro-choicer try to deny the right of a transgendered person to have an abortion if they needed one.

    What exactly do you mean by "this is just semantics anyways"?

    Because you know very well that there is no attempt to exclude transgendered people by calling it a women's right's issue, or that it's only about rights for women and no one else. Abortion laws cover anyone able to get pregnant, be it man or woman.

    This is like asking "But..what about my pickup truck?" because it's called car insurance.
