when a man can get pregnant, he can have the right to get an abortion.
its about having the right to decide for yourself what medical procedures you want.

I think it's funny how people assume that all liberals want the exact same thing. Just because you're a liberal doesn't mean you agree with everything on the liberal side. I tend to lean liberal but I'm really not with any particular party. The woman has a choice because the baby is in her body. Whoever is having the child should have the decision to abort or not to abort. I personally would not abort my child. The man has no choice because he is not the one who has to go through 9 months of carrying a child. Even if a few men do get pregnant by whatever means, for the most part it is usually women who have children. Would you deny a child who was raped the right to an abortion because you don't think it's right? Keep in mind that a woman's child bearing age ranges from around 20-26 because that's when their body can handle pregnancy. At such a young age, a child could die from trying to carry a child. But how many people think about that. Even teenagers who get pregnant by whatever means can have the same problem and the baby could end up dying along with the teen. I don't think it's my or anyone else's right to tell someone else what to do with their body by law. I can tell them it's not right, but I can't keep them from doing it.

I'm a liberal and I happen to think you pose an interesting question. One could make the argument that the woman entered into joint ownership at the point of conception, in some cases! Still, I think her domain over her own body would come first.
Why is it that if a child is born in the last second of the year, it's a tax deduction for that entire year, while, if it's born a second later, on the first second of the new year, it's not? In that way, the Federal Govt. has decided, via the tax code what life is. Is that baby any more alive in one second than the other?
These are tough questions, but I think yours is original.

Men do have the right to do things to their body. If a man had a fetus inside him, he would have the right to get an abortion. The baby doesn't get a choice because it isn't a baby, its a fetus. Abortions are performed in the first two trimesters (except in certain cases like danger to the mother). This is before the fetus has any consciousness or the ability to survive outside the womb, so there is no thinking involved to make said choice.

Once a woman learns that she is pregnant, if she does not have an abortion, she will have a baby in 9 months (barring any unforeseen complications) Once a woman learns that she is pregnant, if she does have an abortion, she will not have a baby in 9 months. What happened to the life of the baby that would have been born if an abortion would not been performed?
In the end, God will be the final judge if abortion is right or wrong.

That's one of many, many problems.
NO AMOUNT OF LAW will make men and women identical. They are equal under the law (as they should be), but not interchangeable. They're a matched set!
We have accepted this simple and undeniable fact in a million ways, including allowing single-sex restrooms and (until recently) defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
So this problem has no definitive answer. Blame Darwin, not Jesus!

I know, what about the rights of that baby that is being slaughtered in the name of a womans right to choose. I just makes me sick because the big wig political libs know exactly what abortion entails and they still support it. I call that heartless. And if anyone wants to argue I can send some pics from my work place of aborted babies.
And for aviators comment the "fetus" has the beginning of a nervous system at 18 days! how can it not feel it's self being torn apart or sucked of the mother and thrown in a bucket and processed. Get educated on this stuff before you make comments on it not being a human being, "fetus" by the way mean little one, not non-human ball of tissues.

it's her body. the man had a choice,protection. no one is forcing a man to reproduce. why should a woman be forced to? a fetus is not a baby by legal definition.

When a man can get pregnant and be forced to be an incubator for 9 months he can make all the decisions he wants.

Yes! I am pro-choice... pro-choice of the fetus! Who, I understand, is usually female because the gender doesn't differentiate until toward the end of the 1st trimester.

Get's confusing. It's my biggest problem with "pro-choice" rhetoric (that the fetus gets no choice--sorry guys, I could care less about how you feel about abortion, since you are the biggest cause of it).
