I speak for MYSELF when I say that I do not (particularly) agree with abortion, however, a woman has to right to have one. Period. Point blank. The topic at hand is if anyone can force a woman to carry a baby and do men actually have rights in the matter of whether a woman has an abortion or not. In theory, it would be great to say that men have rights. However, from a legal standpoint, THEY DO NOT. No court can force a woman to carry a child.
With that said, I will address matters realistically in the manner that an overwhelming percentage of pregnancies and abortions take place. I, PERSONALLY, don't know many women that have abortions without the consent, or overwhelming pressure, of the "father." There is no hoopla when a man pressures a woman to have an abortion because HE is not ready to have a baby. Of course, no one can really make a woman have an abortion, but if she feels that's what she wants instead of raising a child alone, having to live with the fact that her child is unwanted by the "father," giving the child up for adoption, etc., that's her business. The point is that when men don't want a kid, they can move on and do what they hell they want to do without looking back. Let's be honest. EVERY ONE of us knows someone that has gotten a woman into "trouble" and scrambled like a maniac to get the money together for an abortion. We all also know men that don't pay child support and/or don't want anything to do with their children. Now, because the woman wants an abortion for whatever reason that is personal to her or feel that SHE doesn't want the responsibility of a child, all the men are ready to stone her!
We can all agree to disgree or whatever, but abortion, adoption, child rearing, etc. are all matters of personal choice.
