is even a fraction as high as the incidence of men *encouraging* and attempting to influence their girlfriend to HAVE an abortion that she doesn't necessarily want?
I have never, in my own experience, known a man who desperately wanted his partner to have the baby she was determined to abort. I have never known a man to want to "veto" his girlfriend's abortion. I HAVE known cases in which boyfriends attempted to persuade their partner to have an abortion when she didn't want one. Do you think men desperately wanting their baby are even half as common as men trying to influence their partner to have an abortion against her will? From the looks on this forum of the mass male indignation over not being able to control those murderous irresponsible women's bodies, you'd think men were so angelic that they would never ask a woman to abort their baby. In fact, I'm almost certain that they do so MORE often than they request to keep their babies.
