I'll say it again: If you're not a woman, you should have no say in this debate.
Now, on an individual basis, I think most of the time the father's opinion should be considered, but that's as far as it goes.
My body, my choice. Fuck off if you think you have any right to tell me otherwise.
Sure guys can be involved in a discussion about whether it's right or wrong. I don't have any problem with that, because it's just a discussion. When it's actually time for a real person to make this decision no one else's opinion counts except hers. Not men or women. Maybe the father, I think that really depends on their relationship.
That's basically what I'm saying. But the fact that men can even be involved in voting to legislate abortion either way, to me, is wrong. If a debate came up about whether men should be circumcised or have a vasectomy, I have the right to weigh in, but I don't think I should have the right to vote on the matter.
