Should men have control over the abortion process?

[Vegence]

If it's their child should they have say so about whether or not the woman should have abortions?

I think they should it's partly their seed. However, he should only have a choice if he is the mature type that will do his part.

yes I think they should have some say so yes..... :)

I think that we should have some say in the matter when we know it is our seed in there. It is a serious decision regardless of what the outcome is so both people with a stake in it should discuss seriously the pros and cons of either choice so that big mistakes are not made.

Absolutely Not! While we did play a key role in creating the pregnancy, it's the womans body, so ultimately she has the right of what to do with her body. Should the man be involved in the decision, yes! I think it's wrong for a woman to abort or make a decision harming the pregnancy without talking with her man. But it's still her final decision. As men, we have no idea what a woman undergoes when she is pregnant. I know I certainly learned alot about womanhood when my wife was pregnant. From start to finish, it's an experience we have a very limited part in.

Bruh, we don't have to carry that child for 9 months. We just have to support the woman during that time. I would say the woman has certainly earned that right to be in control of her body.

But let me be devil's advocate and go along with you for a sec........
What happens if you and her have a ******** relationship, and you really ain't the man you supposed to be? What right do you have then? How would that right be enforced? It's just not practical. You open up a Pandora's box is issues for the lawyers to come in an fight over.

The only case where I would agree that the man should have an 'enforceable' say is if the woman is mentally incompetent.

Thats true dblack I think a man has some say so but weather or not the woman listen is really up to her,I think the decision should be the womans no doubt, but for me I would atleast listen to his thoughts and concerns if there were any :D

Well that is what I was going to say...
I feel the man should have a say so because regardless of where the seed is stored, its still half his. But on the other hand, a woman will do what she wants to do with her body because she is the one who will have to go through the changes (even though this is just on of the many consequences one should think of before hand).

Yeah, that too.

I also believe that a man should have some say in the pregnancy if it lasts and I absolutely agree that in the end it is the woman's decision but if i am willing to do what is needed I would hope that she would feel the same rather than the latter....

I think control is too strong of a word. I dont think any man should force a woman into or out of a decision like that, ultimately it is up to her. Yes, he can speak his mind and voice his opinions..however, I think it is the woman's responsibility to hear the man out and respect his feelings/concerns before she makes her final decision.
