I'm probably going to get yelled at for this but.....?!
Question: I cant really understand how men can have such strong opinions about abortion. I understand their whole religious aspect of it but it seems to me in a way almost quite humorous (maybe bad word choice) that some men on here go nuts at the subject of abortion. Just my opinion when men can carry babies they can abuse women for having abortions, am I the only one who feels this way? For the record I am pro-choice (if that wasnt obvious)

Here is one answer:
We speak out against this wrong, and then lo and behold, here comes along the punk, or drunken bum who got you pregnant. He opens his trap or might try to shove the other man away and then bam! He gets busted in the mouth.
It is the selfish forms of men who don't care, and the decent ones who do.
I agree that women should have the decision, however, a women can't get pregnant without a man. A women may have to do more, but both are involved.
I feel exactly the same way. I don't know what to say when men are so defensive about abortion. They don't have the right to make those judgments because they will never know how it feels to be in a situation like that. But, I definitely agree with you. Pro-choice all the way (NOT pro-abortion).
i agree but some guys are womanly. they almost feel as though they are a woman in the situation i think... plus some guys want to be dads and can't stand the thought of a woman killing his baby and not having a say in it. but i think they just have to deal with it because it isn't their body, period
Nope you're not the only one with that opinion. There are so many pro-lifers out there and they're usually uber eager to voice their opinion and tell you that you're wrong-we pro-choicers get drowed out sometimes. I'm pro-choice and I'm sticking with it. We never know the circumstances of other's decisions and I think we should mind our businesses about it too. Men should walk a mile in a woman's shoes before they cast stones.
I agree. I'd like to say their opinions don't matter, but unfortunately, it's (for the most part) men who make the laws governing abortion. How's that for unfair!
yeah i hate when ppl criticize you when you say your pro abortion.. i am and so is my bf. b/c why would ppl want to bring a child into this world that they cant properly take care of.. i guess alot of parents like to depend on the damn government. and i dont want my child to have a life like that.
Yes, i agree. and i am pro-choice as well, when it is done responsibly and not relied on as the sole method of birth control. I think it would be far better for a pregnancy to be terminated than to have a poor child raised under poor conditions, or to be shifted through the foster care system, or to have children born with FAS or other defects because the mother wasnt not prepared
Oh totally. But i think if its within a relationship it should be talked about atleast.
Although i dont think it should be a form of birth control either... once is a mistake anything after that is stupidity and neglegence...
it's my body, god forbid i ever need one.... But why should someone else call the shots.
I also believe though, that if you abort a baby after a 3 or 4 month period its just wrong... Theres a difference between when it has a heart and when it doesnt...
To the people who say only rape victims too... One of my best friends is a product of rape, he was also my first lover... i cant imagine my life without him...
She made the choice to keep him, and im happy she did... hes such a great person.
Pro choice all the way
I am pro-choice to.. I think that all wemon should have a choice of what to do with their baby. But i think that if the dad wants the baby the woman should have the baby and let the dad take the baby to raise it.
I think that a lot of them freak out at the lack of power...the law says a woman can abort his baby without telling him, without asking him his opinion, without his approval. Sure its the womans body that the baby lives in for 9 months, but its still the fathers baby for that time, and equally his after birth.
Imagine if somehow (reality aside) a guy got pregnant with your baby, and then aborted it without telling you or asking you. I am pro-choice too, but I'd go crazy if there was a little piece of me that just got vacuumed out of existence without me having a say.
So yeah, its the womans body, its the womans life that will get 100% turned upside down if she chooses to have a baby but I can understand completely where guys are coming from in not supporting abortion.
(I'm on your side tho!)
I think men should stay out of women's issues.
there is really only 2 ways that abortion takes place..one (the most commonly used one) is where they just use a tube and suck the baby out... another is where the burn the baby inside the women (so sad !! : ( ) i think the only abortion that should happen should be for a victim of rap.e
The woman also has a choice in the matter of pregnancy as well, it's not just the man. For this reason, if a woman gets pregnant, she should take responsibility. Either way, whether men support it or not, it's still killing a child. I'm a woman and I strongly oppose abortion because I believe it hurts the woman much more than having the child would. Many women who have abortions have mental health problems later on. CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!!!!
Because... its a sweet, tender, baby, and you are scrambling it like eggs and vacuuming it out. You women are all crazy. Give it away to a foster family, anything, but don't abort the damn thing! Imagine if there was no God, because no one knows for sure, that is the babies ONE chance at life, ONE and it will never get another, and you just threw it away. I mean honestly, isn't everyone pro-LIFE Its life here people, I don't know a single person who is pro-death, except maybe you idiots. You realize thats what your saying when you say pro-choice or pro-abortion, its just a nicer word. You are pro-death. But its not like I care, your all going to hell anyway, your death clinic doctor too. And possibly your baby, for, he never accepted his given savior, now did he? You all are pro-death just because you want to have sex and be crazy, and have no responsibility, well having fun is more rewarding when there are periods of no enjoyment, in between. It is pathetic how you idiotic women of todays heathenism society act, you all think like if one big orgy, children are the last untouched innocence in this world, and your vacuuming it into a disposal. Giving it to a foster family gives it a better chance of life than just giving up in the first place and killing it. I don't see why anyone who is married would get an abortion, thats just irresponsible, if your married you should be old enough to know what is right for the newborn. A scared, teenage girl, shouldn't of been out having sex when she should have been locked in her room studying. Oh, and I did answer the initial question in my first sentence.
I probably shouldn't be responding here, but in the last two years I've had a circumstance that actually put my own ideas of abortion to the test. I was originally pro-choice, up until my girl friend (now my fiance) and I found out she was pregnant. She is Catholic and had a strong belief in not having an abortion... I, however, felt differently. That is, until I realized what I would be giving up and how that little life in there was created by her and myself. It only took about 3 days for me to swallow my pride and admit I was wrong, and I'm now pro-life. However, I made the decision on my own, just like my fiance made her own decision. We talked about it, never getting objectionary or defensive, and heard eachother out.
Now, I know some men are more opinionated, and most of the time a little too opinionated (as women can be too), it's a decision for both people. Yes, the woman carries the baby and delivers. You support and nurture that life, and we have only one role during a pregnancy... to support you. But I still think it's something you need to at least talk about and lay on the table for discussion. Sometimes options like adoption come up, and both sides can reach a compromise. Or what if you adamantly push for abortion, but he is willing to take full custody and care for the baby without any obligation on your part? All I'm saying is that the best decision, when it comes to abortion, comes from two people figuring out the best solution. If one or the other forces his/her way, your relationship will never be the same. Godbless.
I feel the same as you do!!! I think that when they can carry a child and/or at least handle a little bit of the pain of child birth then they shouldn't be able to knock what some women do with their bodies. Most men don't even care enough to talk about protection with thier partners let alone what should happen if she were to get pregnate all that they care about is the all powerful feeling of busting a nut!!!!
Personally I think that abortion is up to the mother. Not the boyfriend/husband, parents and definitely not the state.
Now my mother will probably slap me for saying that but if I were to get pregnant there's no way I'm fit enough to bring a child into this world. I'm unemployed, I'm really amibitious when it comes to making my career pursuits, and I don't ever think that I could be that responsible. I'm always going out at night. Do I really want to give up my social life for a child?
If people are against abortion then how can they eat meat? how can they support wars? you know what i mean? they are living beings that get slaughtered too.
So, yes I agree. Pro-life men are quite annoying. Like I said it should up to the mother.
wow, you opened a can of worms on this one, but I agree with you totally.. And I believe that abortion is a very hard and personal decision and woman dont deserved to be bashed by other people who have nothing to do with her and the decisions shes made...if she asks for someones opinion, ok but what really ticks me off is, ive walked into fairs(carnival) and there would be anti abortion people there with there signs trying to get peoples attention, what the hell is that about.. cant they find anything better to do then judge womans lifes who they dont even know... people can get damn violent when it comes to this subject,..
