I mean, it's easy enough to just not have an abortion if you think it's wrong. If you're a man, this will never be an issue for you since you could never be pregnant. Why worry about it?
Val, you're oversimplifying the pro-life argument. To them, it's not simply a "medical procedure". It's killing a defenseless human being.

While I personally don't completely agree with that position, I don't agree with yours either. Men are allowed to believe in principles that effect people besides themselves. The pro-choice movement does have some strong, intelligent arguments -- why not use them?
