Men Abortion and Choice

[DanaC]

So, any woman who's old enough and with the mental capacity to understand that sex can and does lead to pregnancy, even if protection is used, loses the final say over whether she has to carry any baby to term? Simply because she chose to have sex with a man, he gets to make decisions about what she does with her body?

Damn, man and you call Britain fascist. You want to allow men the right to dictate what a woman does with her body? Force her to undergo a process which often carries enormous health risks, even in these modern times. Oh great so, as long as the man's willing to raise the baby with no input from her, she loses the right to refuse to undergo 9 months of pregnancy and the labour that follows.

I would never want to live in a country with a law like that.

The baby is as much the man's as it is the woman's. It takes two to tango. If there was consensual sex, and she has a brain in her head, she knows what could very well happen and accepts that possibility.
Abortion because you just don't want it is selfish and only serves as a way to further irresponsibility.

Only after it's born. While it's connected to a woman's body, she's the only one who has the right to say whether it will become an actual baby or not. Damn right it's selfish--do you want someone else making medical decisions for you?

I'd rather see legislation that leaves the decision of the fetus entirely to the woman.... and the decision whether or not they have sex entirely to the man.

But it's ok to let a woman kill his child without his consent even though she CHOSE to get pregnant... I see.
It is not about her body it is about their fetus.
