if the pro life men were women would they become pro choice?

if the men that are pro life were women would they become pro choice? men don't understand the kind of position women are put in when they become pregnant. I think many of them would become pro choice if they were women. they say what about the child's choice,you cant ask them so how would anyone know what their choice is. I would be more concerned with providing safe birth control. hormonal can cause cancer, condoms don't work their only good for std prevention and from what I hear it is tough for a woman without children to get a tubule ligation or cauterization.

ok follow up if people were using abortion as birth control don't you think it would be worse them having kids and not taking care of their kids and then those kids having kids? so you would be punishing them by punishing their child. many of them probably don't have the money to raise a child. if they are so irresponsible to not use birth control isnt that a bad parent because they would not teach their child to use birth control.
and I meant would more men turn pro choice not all.

Please!!! Some men do understand. Some are all for you and your rights!

@DeWayfarer despite the condescending tone of her original post, she kind of has a point. No man will ever understand what it’s like to be pregnant. And I’m painfully aware of this when I’m having an abortion discussion with a woman. And it’s also why I’m both pro-life and pro-choice.

@BryanSunshine I had a women nurse once describe what I when through as being worse than being pregnant. If she herself, having had several kids, consider it "worse", than who am I to doubt her?

I truly wouldn't have wished that kind of pain, for that length of time upon anyone! Not even a fraction of that!

@DeWayfarer that statement can easily be taken in different ways, but we must try to undertsand the context it's from. I think she was generalizing but not overgeneralizing. She's partly saying also that its difficult to judge someone unless you've walked in their own shoes, difficult for a man to know what a woman goes through, if he never gets pregnant, and other stuff. Sorry if I'm wrong, but that's how I undertsand it.

@IHateMyLife0MeDie I don't know if it has made my meaning clearer, yet I did add to it while your reply went through.

@DeWayfarer I don't think it's just a matter of physical pain though. We can only imagine what a woman goes through after her pregnancy. When you bring a child into this world, it's gonna take up a lot of your time, alot of your energy, compund that to whatever else is going on in your life. If you decide to have the child adopted, they're gonna be in your mind, they just don't disappear. There is a high number of abuse towards adopted children? I think these questions affect the father too, but more so the mother. The baby was inside her, then is nursed by her and was often in closer proximity to her. Of course some "fathers" just don't care and that's another factor for the woman. Oh yeah, what does it also do to the mother if the father is a rapist, what does it do to the child also if they find out their father was a monster? And so on, other things I haven't thought of.

With all due respects to what you went through. I'm sure it wasn't just the excruciating physical pain you had to deal with even.

@IHateMyLife0MeDie You are right. My whole life was upturned. Everything changed! Quite literally everything. Not saying that the same as bringing a life into the world. Yet everything, from the simplest to the greatest, changed. Even all the social aspects.
