Where is the man's right in abortion?

Wow. The law even allows your wife to get a divorce if you don't want to. Isn't it crazy how women have rights these days?\n\nHonestly, though, don't you think it would be terrible to force a woman to have your child?

Ooh touchy topic!!\n\nIt depends on the circumstances. I am against it when a woman is promiscuous and has one after the other (abortions that is) but I do agree with it if there are health risks to either mother or baby if the baby is kept.\nI would also agree if the person was raped and fell pregnant.\n\nEither way, I really don't feel that people should be judged on the decisions they have made. Be it for the right or wrong reason, having an abortion is a terrible thing for anyone to have to consider and I would never want to be in that position.

Most abortions occur at 6 weeks, where the embryo doesn't have brainwaves or cerebral cortex. It basically looks like a salamander. This is not a baby. However, if the woman completes the pregnancy, a child is born with all the complete developments and cerebral cortex. That is a child. It would cause irreversible psychological damage to the child if his/her dad doesn't want to see them. It will screw them up for life. You're pro-life, will you support a man's option for the woman to have an abortion? He can't force her. Your reasoning contradicts your beliefs in abortion.

I think the main goal is to get women to stop using abortion as a form of birth control. The vast majority of abortions performed in this country are on women who find for any number of reasons that a baby is an "inconvenience". Hence the term " unwanted pregnancy ". \n\nMost pro abortion advocates like to use the rarest of examples to justify keeping abortion legal. Including killing a baby just as it is about to be born!\n\nThe actual percentage of cases where the mothers life is in danger or where the pregnancy is due to rape or incest is very small. The simple solution to all of this would be for women to take more responsibility for their own bodies. I agree that men should be responsible in their sexual behavior as well, however, ultimately the woman is the one to suffer the effects of an unwanted pregnancy.

Go, mom.\n\nOkay, I will not dip too deep into this because this subject is, well, one I am passionate about.\n\nMurder is murder. I don't care if the government say that you can kill a baby, that you have the right; you don't. Women have a right to THEIR bodies, yes, but after a baby is concieved, it is a seperate entity, a seperate person;human being. It is connect to, BUT no longer HER body.  Okay, What happens when you kill an adult, or, you know, let's say six of them? You will most likely get the death penalty. Why? Because you have no right, or 'decision' to make about someone else's body or life. Oh, and you want to know how law-proven guilty criminals that get death row die?...a lot more peacefully and a lot less gruesome and more human than an innocent baby that is aborted dies.\n\nI'm not an activist, but I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people supporting murder. People that cannot live up to their responsibilities of having sex, should NOT have it. I hear you on the birth control method. My mother had always told me about a roommate she used to have in college. She had several abortions, and used it as birth control. Well God (or nature, whatever you believe, or don't believe) Stepped in, and when she settled down from the college years, and got married, she was not able to have children anymore. It is wrong. If you cannot live up to your responsibilities, or not be safe and responsible, or are promiscuous it's not the baby's fault. Why should the baby have to die for your sins, your mistakes. It's believed that everyone is born with sin, but not even giving them a chance to have a life of their own is selfish. You are taking a life, and that is not right, or your place to decide.\n\nI have been through the issue with a rape. If I hadn't of had a miscarriage, I would have given the poor thing up for adoption, at least. And I was 15 at this time, a very scared, abused girl, but...killing it never once crossed my mind; I do not condone that at ALL.... and that experience messed me up very badly, to this day.  That is a terrible spot to be in, you didn't ask for it, it's not your fault, but it's not the baby's either. I mean, I won't lie, I felt terrible for what had happened (worthlessness, guilt, filth, self-pity, all the emotional baggage that came with it) but I would have felt so much more if I would have taken that life away, for nothing more than my selfishness.\n\nThere are plenty of barren, sterile couples, or just loving couples that would LOVE to have a baby, but cannot conieve that would take unwanted babies'. If it is women's right to kill their children, then why do people go to jail for it after they are outside of their womb? Hmm, it's the SAME THING. If the government says that is is their RIGHT to murder that is fu cked. What about that child's RIGHT to live, to have a life, even if it is sent to a different family. People are irresponsible and selfish. fu ck them.\n\nOh, and a smaller dip into the  the whole "they they're not babies until.. blah, blah." ,It still is a human being, no matter how small. It takes shape after a while, fingers, toes, fingernails form early on....etc. They develop faster than lawmakers gave credit... If a person other than the mother assaults a mother, and the baby dies, it is murder, if the mother decides to kill it, it's her right?\n\nThat's not right.\n\nEither be responsible, live up to your responsibilities, give it up, or just be humane.\n\n\nOOOH, \n\nAnd I can't go on anymore. I tried to sum it up for you. I can't go futher, or I will rewrite it in more detail and right a freaking book, right here and now...

Are you trying to open a can of worms here? LOL Seriously I personally don't like the thought of abortion. I think too many women use it as a from of birth control. BUT...I think every woman should have the right to choose! Its her body and that child would be her responsibility forever. I suppose she could give it up for adoption, but some women aren't strong enough to live with that decision. It all boils down to a persons rights. We should all be able to make our own choices! And a partial birth abortion is entirely different in my opinion of one at 9-10 weeks...all have their own opinion though..

I agree with you that abortions are wrong. I strongly believe that it is cruel and takes away the life of a child. Everyone should have the right to live and I believe it is selfish of someone to take away a child's entire life because they don't want 9 months of suffering. If they can't take care of the child there is always adoption. To those who say that a women should have the right to chose, what about the unborn child, shouldn't he have some rights or at the very least the right to live. Now this is also disapproved by religion as it goes against the 10 commandments as so forth but it is more then that, its a matter of love and selflessness, its morality and common sense. Abortion is murder and murder is wrong.

The question was whether a city could withhold public funds from paying for abortions or prohibit public employees from performing or assisting in abortions.\n\nA fractured court held that there was no consitutional right to public funds for abortions. It also pretty much threw out the 3-trimester argument of Roe v Wade in upholding another part of the law that required a doctor performing an abortion to first determine if the fetus was viable, and deliver the baby if it was.\n\nSee the opinion here: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=492&invol=490

I believe the laws vary in different states.  I do recall reading about a 'would be" dad who fought the abortion his girlfriend was going to have and recall reading about another case where the "would be dad" fought the adoption the mother had planned immediately after birth.  In this case, the father won.  He had not been informed about the pregnancy at all.

Really depends if you  consider an aborted baby a person on not.\n\nIf you consider an aborted baby a person then different rights should come into the question eg Father, state and child. The power of each of the rights depends on the majority views of the society\n\nIf you consider it to be like sperm then you can do whatever you want with it.

Americans as a whole do not think this way.  There is much controversy in our country about this issue.  It is currently legal in most (I believe) states to have an abortion, but conservative religious zealots are always trying to change the law.  Obviously, I am pro-women's rights (not pro-abortion and not pro-life, but believe that since it's the woman's responsibility it ultimately needs to be her choice.)

No. But I believe that women shouldnt be allowed to have abortions either. After all its not just their body, and the other body is what they are attempting to abort.

Ither way he who chooses to do what they want when they want. free country but probly the moms and dads. ima anti-abortion so.... you know how that goes.

They were absolutely right.  Abortion needs to be available and legal in this country.  Women have a right to do what they want with their own bodies.\n\nIf men could get pregnant, abortion rights would be one of the first 10 amendments to the Bill of Rights.

*Stepping into this* 1st it should be nobody's business what a woman does with her own body, besides that particular woman.\n2nd If you are male and trying to tell a woman what to do on this topic, simply shut up. We men will never fully understand. (Unless someday science allows males to conceive, carry and birth a baby.)\nOn the topic, I'm neither pro or con, just realize something as personal as this is a personal decision and respect that fact.\nNow, if you are for the war and/or capital punishment you should go away and rethink your values as you are a hypocrit.\nThose who are left, you have your opinion, great I respect that, but you know what they say about opinions...\n\nBut if you want to see the number of abortions go down, make our government allow "The Morning After Pill" like the rest of the civilized world has. It is the fault of each and everyone of you that abortion still exists when we know of far better methods. Take responcibility and do what is needed so we have ALL options available!\n\nWelcome to the world where right wing religious conservatives think they have a right/duty to take away everyone else's rights and force them to do what they want you to do.\nSeems to me that is not the freedom countries are founded on.\n\nIf it bothers you, be very very sure that you vote freedom of choice for every bloody official position there is, from school board to president. It is time the pendulum swung back to the middle instead of the victorian insanity we see today...\n\n*Editing in a note* See below, that was not I who is trying to make a clump of cellular tissue into a baby.

Unlike what the previous person said, the logics are not opposite - in the case of pregancy (except in cases of rape), the woman made the choice to have sex (ie her body is her own).  I don't know who wasn't paying attention in health class, but pregnancy is a natural consequence of sex.\n\nAs such, women who are not old enough, responsible enough, or financially able to support a child should not be having sex.\n\nThis holds true for men as well, by the way...\n\nFurthermore, suppose a man and woman have sex and the woman becomes pregnant.  She can choose to have an abortion, even if the man wants to be a father, or she can choose to have the child, in which case the man is financially responsible for her child, even if he wanted her to have an abortion.  He has no say whatsoever in the fate of his child under our current system, and that's wrong.

I'm not.  I can't see any reason to justify abortion.....none.....not even rape, or to "save" the mother.\n\nAnd to all the people saying, "I have no right to tell you what you can or can't do, and you have no right to tell me"  \n        If this is the case, why obey the law?
