Do men have a say on the issue of Abortion?

2016-10-19T21:24:13-04:00

I stand on the right of people to live. I think abortion is murder and I believe I can stand by that because I'm a human.

In a respectful relationship where both parties are mature enough to have that talk, sure. It's not so much that men don't get their opinion heard, it's that they aren't allowed to make the final decision. That's how it should be.

IT depends on The person...
The Progressives have taken religion out of the Equation... they are all about Rights ... a woman's' rights... Her body and her decision...
My feelings ... its something every one have to watch... they should have to see the beating hears and the movement s of the Child no bigger than your thumb... watch the developing Human being pulled torn twisted and wrenched from the womb...

But most of all if the woman wast to sleep around take the pill if your morals are so low you will commit murder because you were out to have fun and messed up…
as some here would agree with she may not pay for it now, but there will come a day and a time she will and she has no one to blame but her self...

I do make special exception for 3 instances ... and 2 of the 3 can be remedied so early on it would not matter... the 3rd can be handled accordingly...

sorry you can have the soap box back...

I don't believe a Zygote is a Child, I don't believe that a Fetus is a Child. A Child is a Child. I believe In-Vitro a Zygote evolves into a Fetus and In-Vitro Hopefully it evolves into a Child but in the Process it mimics various other life forms to Include Fish when it develops a Backbone and our Mammal Ancestors until it develops enough to lose it's Tail. When Males start Bearing Children I might give you're Argument more Credit. Until such Time I have no Business telling a Woman what she can and can't do with her Body. If she chooses to accept what amounts to a Parasite or Cancer in it's Early Development knowing that eventually it will be a Child I love it but by the same token I will not force her to bear her Rapist Child. I will not force the Young Victim of Incest to go thru that or Force a Woman to Endanger Her Life for Religious Dogma.

I think it is a huge victory for women's rights when the democratic nominee supports the legality of sticking an ice pick in a baby's head as it is crowning and then putting it on frappe. Makes me proud to be an American. God help us.

And you are completely, and absolutely within your right to not have an abortion. The problem is where you try and force YOUR views on people that don't share them.

No. They really don't and they shouldn't. Until a baby pops out, you have absolutely no say.

NO, its not up to us. I am very surprised that in 2016 its still an issue in United States. It should be a total right of a mother to choose. we (men) do not carry the child so we need mind our own business.

I believe men should simply for the reason it takes 2 people to create a child, it should take 2 to decide whether to terminate the child.

If a man wants a child and a woman doesn't, he has no right to raise that child but she has every right to terminate. But on the other hand, if a woman wants a child and a man doesn't, he's on the hook for 18 years of child support payments.

It's not right.

I am Pro choice. There are certain situations where this may be called for, but to outright ban it is not the way to go. Semper Fi.

They can have a say if they're anywhere to be found or raise a hand, but the final decision is not theirs to make.

But, Hillary says a fetus isn't entitled to protection under the Constitution until they are born. 50 + million babies discarded after being slaughtered proves who is winning this moralistic argument.

Everyone has a say. That's the beauty of this country. However, as far as law goes, the Supreme Court makes the legal decisions. I think the DECISION to have an abortion is one a man and woman should have together - however, like it or not, the woman has more say. Without saying whether I am pro-life or pro-choice, the way the law stands right now, it is her body. As a man, it is very difficult to understand the idea of pregnancy, and the weight the decision of abortion or child birth has. I think a man should have his voice heard, but ultimately, as the law stands, it's the woman's choice.

Sorry, but men don't have a say. Especially since paternity cannot be proven until after the child is born. And it's sad to say that most of the time, an absent father is the reason for the pregnancy being terminated. It's a woman's choice. Taking a woman to court to stop her will only delay the situation. Being anti-abortion does not necessarily mean the father is willing to raise the child.
But I will say this, I have seen many men being punished when the women have children and demand an outrageous amount of child support so they don't have to work. I used to do payroll for a construction company and had to process a court ordered child support payment. It was based on the father's salary and when it was calculated, he was left without enough money to pay for rent, utilities and groceries. The mother was still not happy and sent a paralegal to visit me. We calculated, according to the court order, and the amount stood. Then the male paralegal made a remark about "he should have kept it in his pants". Really? Last time I checked, women are allowed to purchase birth control pills and condoms. It takes two to tango.

Men used to be the protectors of the family, their communities and their countries. They’ve partially abdicated that role because loud-mouthed unethical Femi-Nazis made men believd they had no right and no place to protect these children - the unborn. What a great feat Satan has performed !
