Having, or not having, an abortion, is an individual decision by a women on her own body. No one, not even the state, has the right to interfere with that.

What if, as a man, you were to have sex with a woman, taking precautions so as not to impregnate her, in the end get her pregnant due to some failure? Say you did not want to raise a child with this woman, or that you did not want to raise a child at all. If she didn't want to get an abortion and you didn't want to be obligated (or feel obligated) to help a child and mother you never wanted to be involved with, what would you do?

Also, on the other end of the spectrum, say that by some circumstances you got a girl pregnant. Say you DO want to have a child and raise it, or are vehemently in opposition to abortion. What would you do?

NOTHING! Nothing on both counts. As the law stands, you have no say.

i didn't really understand the topic question but i can kinda agree with VORR. but on the other hand it isn't fair to kill a child when there are people like me who can't have any. and no human being has a say so on who lives or dies. it's not up to us. not to sound inconsiderate or nothing but alot of people have lost their sense of thought. if you would be careful enough to use birth control or a condom than you wouldn't get pregnant if it's unwanted or unplanned. but all i'm saying is that it's not fair to the child and not even a mother should have the right to abort her child unless she has been raped.

Here it is from the unwanted child. First off if you want to undo the Roe v. Wade you have to get rid of the 14th Amendment or HIPPA rights. So if you want everyone to be able to see every thing on you that been committed to paper or all your medical files drop it.
Next take it from me unwanted kids go through hell. The first 18 years of my life I wished my mom had an abortion. I now am getting treated for PTSD, I can't go into crowed areas, and I have a hard time telling my wife and kids how I feel about them.
In my mind it sits as being "pro-life" is the same as being pro-torture

the "women are going to have them anyway" argument is kind of bs, people continue to commit crimes though they are illegal. However I don't even think abortion should be illegal, but I think that as far as morals go, killing a fetus for any other reasons besides rape, and endangering the health of the mother, would be wrong.

I think that it is neither mine, nor yours, nor anyone else's opinion for that matter! The decision should be in the hands of the female in the predicament. I think that a woman should have the RIGHT to choose. I am not saying one way or another whether or not I actually agree with abortions in general. However, the fact of the matter is, women are going to have them whether they are or aren't supported or legal. Therefore, ethically, we need to provide safe and clean locations for women to decide for themselves.

xreplica

That is an absolutely ridiculous statement, considering an abortion concerns both sexes. You seem as if you think it is always the male's fault for unwanted pregnancies, and all men are no-good, dirt-cheap buffoons. Xreplica is a good name, considering you have perfectly been replicated of a large goup of idiots by way of brainwashing. Think for yourself.

maybe birth control failed, maybe it messes up your "plans". I'm a guy and I feel like kind of an asshole saying all of this because I'll never have to make the decision, but it seems like those reasons are pretty shallow justification for killing a fetus. You might not consider a fetus a real person, but does it deserve to die just because you just had to have sex? Half of the abortions in this country didn't happen because of the failure of birth control, where was the planning then?

i think it's ridiculous for men to pass any sort of judgment in regards toward abortion, seeing as there's no way they'll ever be forced to make that decision.

if the pregnancy is unwanted it may very well affect the welfare of
the mother to have the child. It can cause serious setbacks financially and cause someone to halt their education or other life
plans. the choice of abortion can help keep a woman's life on track.
They pregnancy may not have been a choice. Birth control may have failed.
