Is abortion still about eugenics?

When did the rationale about abortion change from eugenics to a woman's right to choose? Is the Negro Project really over or did it just morph into something more palatable? Abortion is abortion. Does its status as right or wrong depend unpon the rationale justifying its use? Is it right for China to fine tune its population through abortion? What can be done about the surplus of Chinese men due to preference among Chinese to abort baby girls?

Should a man have any rights in the abortion decision?

Just curious about these issues.

One of the very few things that’s more important even than life is bodily autonomy. A woman’s got a right to decide what does or doesn’t grow inside of her. If in other countries maybe abortion is being forced upon women for eugenic purposes, then that’s wrong.

Other than that I’d just like to say that I’m under a strong impression that abortion is a really complicated issue with few if any simple answers and that I’m no expert on it.
