Bingo, lol.
Personally, I've always limited myself to breeding with women who have similar thoughts on the subject, that way I don't have to make the case against an abortion knowing that an equally or more compelling case could be made by the party that has final say on the matter, lol.

OP: I'm lost. Why is a male trying to make a morality judgement on a strictly female issue.
Unless it's your breeding partner/fetus, why do you care? You should care more about the abortion option being taken from/never offered to women.
Feels like you're only a couple of steps away from pro-birther.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Your body, your choice. I don't object to abortion for the same reason I don't object to people having tattoos: It's none of my business. I also fail to see how this is related to atheism.

Most women who have abortions have children at other times, children they may not have had if they had not aborted the earlier fetus. In other words, many women who have abortions are pregnant in the wrong circumstances for them to take care of a child. You can't judge such cases in isolation.
But the real issue is awareness. We are morally obligated to minimize suffering, but fetuses are typically not developed enough to feel pain. Life itself is trivial without consciousness, which is why we don't feel much compunction about cutting down trees and killing bugs.

Thing is that every sane person is against abortion and secular people are the ones who fight against it by inventing and promoting contraception, sex education, making better jobs and opportunities for women & men, lowering living costs for young people and similar.
Now, there are also corrupt politicians who don't want to make measures that I stated, but rather make a whole show of how they want to ban the abortion itself which is not being against the abortion but rather blaming the victim for being too poor, too clueless about sex and/ or simply having a miserable life.

Being pro choice doesn't mean pro abortion. I mean why do you think contraception exists if not a measure against the abortion?
