How much say should men have over abortion?

Ok so for you guys out there do you think men have the right to dictate what a woman does with her body? What about the father?

Personally for men in general I’d say no. You can disagree with abortion but it’s not your body or decision to make. You have no right to enforce your views onto others.

The father I’d say is a bit different. A deadbeat father no but a caring loving father I think has some say over the new bubba. At least if both parties want the child. This is more on the 22 week mark when possible genetic problems are revealed and such a difficult decision should be made from both parties in my opinion.

  • I think abortion is only acceptable in the case of sexual assault

    • Teenage pregnancy? Do you care if the child is then put into the foster care system and abused because the woman isn’t able to raise it. Let’s be honest you only care about it while it’s in the womb. Once it’s out though it can go rot for all you care.

    • People should be held responsible for their actions. If they don't take care of their child they should go to jail for life.

  • Honestly I usually try to ask her thoughts on it before trying to get into a relationship with her. If she's for it and she's willing to get one her self than I won't date her. As for me I am for it incase of rape/incest, but if your using it as a birthcontrol than that just shows me you can't careful with the men that you have sex with. Nothing wrong with wanting sex, just be careful with the men you choose to have sex with so in case you get pregnant. Than at least you and him can take care of the kid

  • I would say only if the abortion impacts them. So the father, step-father, or brother of the child should have some decision making power, but can't decide over the woman.

  • I would say, the women should get the final say

  • I think that if you have consentual sex, you agree for the dude to have some say over the result, but it's a complicated mess.

  • None. His sperm but you have to endure pregnancy. If the guy is around, is still with you then I would question the reason.

  • Over the pregnancy itself, no. Over their own parenthood, yes definatly.

    It makes no sense to me that once a misstakes been made the woman not only has the right to the descission but also his comming ca 20 years as he's oblogated to responsibility. How is it his responsibility when it's her descission?

    A misstake can happen weather it be a broken condom or as was my case, the woman claimed she couldn't get pregnant while I was intoxicated and my judgement was out the window. Not only did she lie but than was able to steal 7 years of my life before we broke up.

    Yeah... Women should make the call but given the circumstances men should be free to walk away.

  • I think if a woman doesn't want to get pregnant she shouldn't be having sex instead of getting pregnant and having an abortion after the fact.

    • News flash rape and incest happen. Also there is nothing wrong with having a healthy sex life. That’s what birth control is for. But it’s not full proof and accidents do happen.

    • @stormmistress yeah but choosing a proper partner prevents that though. Its still a matter of accountability if you are going that route. And also the VAST majority of abortions are due to casual sex, not rape or incest which make up roughly 3% IF THAT (some say as little as 1% but I'm giving the benefit of a doubt here) of the all abortions annually. So perhaps its better to just have stipulations in place for if the mother's life in threatened, if she's been raped/incest, or the baby is so deformed it won't live anyways. Thats really the only good reason to not have the child. Otherwise it's for the sake of convenience and becomes an act of pure selfishness and evil imho. Rule of thumb for sex is it's okay if it's consensual. Then it should also be it's okay so long as you are doing no harm. and Abortion IS harm. healthresearchfunding.org/.../ www.liveaction.org/.../

    • She can fuck whoever she wants. And if she doesn't want a kid, she ain't having one. Tough tomatoes or whatever. 😆

  • Father yes but still not too much say, any random man nope

  • Depends on the situation.

  • Nothing it's the women's body it's her choice!

  • What really matters is how the one who created both man and women feels. He created each and gave them life. He then told them to be fruitful, become many, and fill the earth. Later he made a law that if 2 men fought and a pregnant woman stepped in between them, and their fighting caused the death of the unborn child, the men would have to be put to death. Point being, God sees us from the moment the egg is fertilized and he considers it a life that is precious. So if we stop worrying about man or woman in this matter, but have the creator's view of it, the answer is clear no matter the situation.

  • 50% say

  • It’s toughy. But I’m solidly for body autonomy. As soon as the fetus isn’t reliant on your body, then the father gets a say.

  • Other people? NONE! The Father? MORE than none!

  • Overall I'd say no, but hopefully she'll at least ask for his opinion.

  • A little but the women should get the final say

  • It’s totally a girl’s decision on abortion. Men can’t decide on her body.

  • It's a very complicated topic, but I'd say that's 100% women choice.

  • I agree luv, it's your kid, i don't think any other man or even woman has a say in it, it's your kid and your choice. Although the father of that kid i think might have a little say in it
