One of my biggest pet peeves is when people, most often pro-choice feminists, act as if abortion is a women's issue, and tell men to shut up about it because they supposedly cannot get pregnant, often telling them "No Uterus, No Opinion". I think this is a bunch of bull****.
First of all, a uterus is unnecessary for pregnancy, anyways, as attested to by the cases of ectopic pregnancies, including abdominal pregnancies, in which the blastocyst implants into the abdominal wall or one of the myriad organs in the abdomen, instead of the uterus. A male could hypothetically have such an abdominal pregnancy, and, in fact, a male baboon and a male chimpanzee have actually been impregnated in such a manner in experiments, with the baboon's pregnancy being terminated after four months, and the chimpanzee's pregnancy being carried to term, with a healthy infant chimpanzee being successfully delivered by cesarean section. Mouse embryos have also been implanted onto the testes of male mice in experiments, with one embryo surviving in its male host's testes for up to twelve days.
Second of all, male humans have, in fact, gotten pregnant, and have had abortions, thanks due to a bizarre condition known as fetus-in-fetu, or parasitic twins. This is when one embryo is absorbed by another during a twin pregnancy, and continues living inside its host sibling's body as a parasite after birth. The parasitic fetus is connected to its host by a umbilical cord-like structure called a pedicle. So men have, indeed, been pregnant, in the sense of having a fetus residing inside of them, and have had abortions, in the sense of having said fetus removed from inside of them.
Second of all, it is a little-known fact that males actually possess a rudimentary, vestigial uterus inside their prostate, called the prostatic utricle, which is connected to the urethra as it passes through the prostate by way of a connection on a raised portion of the prostatic urethra called the seminal colliculus, or verumontanum. So, ironically, the "No Uterus, No Opinion" claim is not even accurate, as, chances are, the man it is being said to DOES actually have a uterus, albeit one that does not undergo menstruation.
Hypothetically, an embryo could implant into the male uterus, and so a male could even have a uterine pregnancy. Since the female uterus can stretch exponentially during the course of a pregnancy to accommodate a growing fetus, the male uterus would probably be able to do so, as well. And, as the tissue of the prostate that the male uterus is inside of contains some of the same proteins that allow the female uterus to expand during pregnancy, the prostate would probably also be able to stretch to accommodate the growing uterus, and fetus, within it, just as the abdominal muscles surrounding the female uterus stretch to accomodate the growing uterus and fetus during pregnancy.
Theoretically, a male could even get pregnant as a result of sexual intercourse with a female. If there was a woman with an atypical menstrual cycle in which she menstruated within one day after ovulating, and she was copulating with a man while she was menstruating, and she was on top, while the man was on bottom, the egg cell could hypothetically exit her vagina with the menstrual flow, and enter his urethral meatus on his penis, entering the urethra, where it could be fertilized by a sperm cell, conceiving a zygote inside the body of the male. The zygote, as it develops into a morula and then a blastocyst, could then travel down the urethra and enter the male uterus, where it would implant, initiating a male uterine gestation.
So it is obvious to me that, even though this fits in with the fact that sex differentiation is a spectrum, which liberals (correctly, in my opinion) point out, many liberals and many feminists, nevertheless, deny science by denying the possibility, and the occurrence, of male pregnancy and abortions of zygotes, embryos, and fetuses inside males, and by denying that males do, in fact, possess a uterus. This is because it conflicts with their misandry-fueled crusade to shut men out of the abortion debate, which they make out to be a women's issue, whereas, in fact, as anyone can get pregnant, regardless of their sex or gender, pregnancy, and, therefore, by extension, abortion, is, in fact, a unisex issue.
