Both men and women have reproductive rights and responsibilities. By virtue of biology, because a woman is the one to bear the child, it so happens that men must exercise their rights NOT to bear children. This way of thinking should start in the bedroom and not at the abortion clinic or in the courtroom. While it is true that after conception a woman has more control than a man over the decision whether to bear a child, and may unilaterally refuse to obtain an abortion, those facts were known to the father at the time of conception. The choice available to a woman, by the fact that she, and not the man, must carry the child and must undergo whatever traumas, physical and mental, that go right along with pregnancy, does not excuse his part in the conception process.
