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.

  • It's not you who decides what men should or shouldn't have over this issue

  • I have thought about this one a lot. I kinda have to agree with Candice Owens on this one. How are you going to fix a world of dead beat dad's if you exclude them from everything right off the bat. So I say 50 percent.

    Or another way to think about it is by putting the shoe on the other foot. It's like a family where the father works and the wife takes care of the house. The male should not get 100 percent rights on deciding where the money goes because he's the only one working.

    I also disagree that abortion is a form of birth control. It's like a gun for self defence. It's your very last, absolute desperate resource. Not the easy way out.

  • It's her choice. The only thing I hate is how men can't decide what they do with their money and it's only how women decide what they do with their body. If a woman decides to kill the child, then it's okay. But a man can't say no to child support. I hate this double standard.

  • As much as his life effects.

  • 50/50.

    The woman didn't impregnate herself did she

  • zero

  • This is a moral issue not a personal preference.

    Do I have the right to murder my child?

    What if I’m a father and my five year old child just really annoys me and my wife and I can’t handle the stress?

    • Is it murder if someone dies because you refused to donate a matching kidney to them?

  • Murder is wrong either keep it sell it or give it away

    • A foetus isn’t a newborn child. Learn biology.

    • Fetus means baby. Learn Latin

    • A clump of growing cells with no conscious isn’t a newborn baby dude. Again learn biology. Stop masturbating if you care about ‘killing’ potential babies.

    • Show All
  • 40/60 they have some part

  • None at all.

  • Fine men have no say no fine. But if you keep the baby why shouldn't the dad have a say if he wants to opt out or not?

  • It's not exactly their own life that their ending, so should women really have a say over it either?

    I understand why people would want to get one, but I just can't approve of ending innocent lives.

    Ideally it would possible to transplant fetuses into someone who wants to have a child, that way you could be rid of the burden & someone else would also benefit + no death necessary;
    I believe I read that India has made some progress in that field of research.

  • If she decides to have the baby he should be able to opt out of child support, the same as she can opt out of having the baby. No if they had consensual sex and the both agreed to no condoms and she gets pregnant then I feel if he wants her to keep the baby then they need to have a discussion.

  • i pretty much agree with you

  • Well the discussion should happen before the deed

  • Both sides should think, either they will be protected or there will be no abortion.

  • This is a complicated issue in society.


    Women’s bodies are their business.


    This is really a family decision between a woman and a consenting man.


    If a woman is raped, she has every right to an abortion.


    If a woman is in a long-standing relationship with a man and he is responsible then it becomes their joint decision.


    One night stand, she has the 100% right to an abortion.


    This should not be in the courts, the churches or anywhere outside of a home and a Doctors office

  • Abortions should be banned after 2 months id say

  • THE FOETUS IS NOTTT YOUR BODY. Your body just nourishes it. Men deserve EQUAL SAY. Girls are all about equality so make them taste the same medicine

  • They get to have a say about things that exist in society, like they would on anything else that exists in society. It's going to come down to the votes of everyone to decide how to proceed.
