My thoughts are real simple on this matter.
When men can carry a baby and give birth, only then should they have any say in the matter. A woman's body is just that...hers.
No one should tell a woman what she can and can't do regarding her body. If a man does not want to live up to his responsibilities and rights as a parent, he will find a way not to anyway without having any say in the matter of abortion.
I am of the belief that abortion should not be used as a means of birth control, yet in saying that I will not judge any woman who decides for her own personal reasons to terminate a pregnancy. It is easy to say that there are other alternatives but until you have walked in the shoes of someone facing such a decision any discussion IMO is moot.
I have taken a few of the girls that I have had in my care for abortions and each time my heart broke for them and their decisions but I never once placed my views above theirs and offered anything other than support for the decision that they made.
I think I will get back to the three stooges here in Canada.
