No womb here, I'm afraid my opinion does not count.
@Northwest I respect this beyond words. I was blocked once on EP during a debate by a man whom I told, “Comparable to [b]male[/b] circumcision. I have [b]opinions[/b], but since I don’t have a [b][b]penis[/b][/b], they’re moot.” 🤭

@Northwest Understood but it does under normal circumstances take both a Mother and a Father to conceive a child so your opinion does matter if you're the Father of the child being aborted. Not being critical or saying a Man should have the ability to force her to keep the child but any Man worthy of the term Father should [b]want[/b] to have a say even if the child is being borne by the Woman...
@spjennifer But wouldn’t that be in a specific situation rather than on abortion in general ?

@bijouxbroussard Quite possibly, as I said, any Man "worthy" of the term Father should want to have a say, yes, it's her body but part of him created that child too so I think he should have a say if he is supportive. Often Men abdicate their responsibilities as Fathers and abandon the Woman but we shouldn't exclude the ones who don't want to abandon them or the child. Not sure how right that is but it is my opinion as the child of a woman who was abandoned after birth by my Father...

@spjennifer You're discussing a very specific situation, one where a COUPLE is making a conscious decision to conceive. In that case, the man and woman agreed to this, and as such they both should have a say. Otherwise, the guy should not expect to have any say in it.
@spjennifer Yes, that’s between a [b]couple[/b], which is totally different.
It’s not the situation where Joe Blow is standing outside Planned Parenthood with a sign, deciding he has the right to express his opinion about what women and girls he has never met do with [b]their[/b] bodies, even rape and incest victims.
