I think men just really need to accept that it's the risk they take when they have sex.
But it's problematic (not being able to secure abortion per being the male) because the issue is that it's happening with her body - and of course others cannot force one to undergo a medical procedure.
When nature developed beings that were male and female things were just off that way from the start - the guys have less say and the women have more misery that goes with it.
Nothing is going to change that - that's just nature. . . no pill or legislation is going to equal out that perceived imbalance. . . because believe me - I'd be happy to not have to be the bearer of the children around here. That would have been good to go without in my life.
I'm not going to get into all this stuff in depth because this is just gonna turn into yet another endless abortion thread, lol.
But do I really need to point out that everything you just said ("That's just the risk you take when you have sex", "Nature made us a certain way and we are bound by it") are every bit as legitimate, and illegitimate, when applied to women and abortion?
The only difference is:
But it's problematic (not being able to secure abortion per being the male) because the issue is that it's happening with her body - and of course others cannot force one to undergo a medical procedure.
Well I am not talking about men being allowed to force a woman to have an abortion. Let's get that out of the way. I wouldn't support that. I'm talking about having a legal way for men to abdicate their rights
and responsibility for the pregnancy and the child, once any decision about the pregnancy and child is removed from him completely.
Now, to the bolded part, yes, it is her body. And If women were
only allowed to have abortions based on legitimate
bodily and health reasons, such as a life-threatening complication with the pregnancy, then I'd agree with you. But that's not the case. Women can have abortions, and in doing so abdicate their responsibility, for
any reason they choose. It doesn't have to have anything to do with their body or health. It can be as simple as the fact that they just aren't ready to face the responsibility yet. So again, if women can legally opt out for convenience reasons, men should legally be able to as well. Fair is fair. The man opting out doesn't take any of her choice away. She would just need to make her choice given this new information.
