USA: The men who feel left out of abortion debate. There is currently a lawsuit in Alabama by a man who says his girlfriend had an abortion against his wishes.

From the article:

Currently in the US, fathers have no legal rights to hinder the abortion of a pregnancy for which they are responsible. State laws requiring that a father be given a say in, or even notified of, an abortion have been struck down by the US Supreme Court.

And:

"If men had to sign off on an abortion, I think you would see a 50% drop, and that's why the [abortion providers] don't want men involved," says Mr Purington.

Conclusion:

"It's changing now, men are fed up," Ms Bonopartis says. "Men had bought into how they have no say in this and that if they speak out, they are against women, but now the impact is being felt by more and more of them as the repercussions of 45 years of abortion are being seen."

The better thing to do would be to give father, legal abortion rights.

Because even if you want the child, you can't force anyone into nine months of pregnancy.

"But it's misogynistic and controlling for a man to decide what a woman has to do with her body even though a child belongs to both parents! sToP cOnTrOlLiNg mE mY bOdY mY cHoIcE now pay child support"

Its just weird a; how do you make sure/pursue someone to dont do anything against the baby, not just drog usage but self starvation 9 months straight, b; on the opposition how do you force someone to have an abortion against her will? It comes down to intelligence, if you dont want a kid protect your self, if you do want then speak to your other half.

Although I hate to see women so irresponsible that they'll get 6 abortions, I'm marginally pro-choice. So, I don't support this guy. What I do support is male abortion. If women don't have to bear children, then men shouldn't have to support the children that women don't have to bear. FAT chance that will happen.

He's going about it backwards. Of course it's anti-woman to force a woman to go through pregnancy and childbirth, that's literally slavery. You can't force a woman to use her own body and resources to carry and birth a child. But it's also slavery to force an unwilling man to raise a child he never had any say in. We shouldn't get rid of abortion but we do need legal parental surrender for men.

I have to laugh. No one will control women just as no one will control men. Condoms and birth control r the answer and if a man behaved as honorably S u expect women to, we wouldn’t have this problem. PAY UP First and commit to paying and taking care of a child u didn’t want in the first place. Then we can talk
