Sorry, you can't buy a uterus. It's a thorny issue but one only those who become pregnant are entitled to resolve IMO.

I'm attacking supporters of abortion-on-demand.\
Why isn't it enough for you to make the case to the women whose decision it should be? Very few take it lightly. Approached in a respectful way they may hear you out. But why make this about force? You're entitled to your opinion. Why do you feet entitled to usurp the opinion of the person whose body is pregnant?

That would be because men are not supporting abortion on demand, they are supporting the woman's right to decide if she has an abortion.
That's true for me. I find every abortion regrettable .. as I'm sure most women do who decide to get one. We have to choose the lesser of two evils all the time. I'm not prepared to make the decision against abortion in all cases any more than I am willing to take the choice out of the hands of the person who is actually pregnant.
