Why do women get offended when males are against abortion?

Question

Women always get upset whenever a male states he is against abortion. However they forget that in this country half of women are against abortion and that the other half who may be in support of a woman's choice most of them will not choose to get an abortion. Some of these same women who are offended forget that they came to life because a woman was willing to give them birth and go through the sacrifice.

Answer 1

i'm not offended at all! i think anybody male or female should be able to stand up for the unborn babies. i have no idea why many women say they have the right to do what they want with their bodies. that would be all fine and good if we were only talking about THEIR bodies. but it is not their body that gets dismembered and disposed of.

Answer 2

I love it when women say that "men have absolutely no business getting involved in a debate that will never directly affect them".

Until a woman can get pregnant without the use of any mans genes, he has a 50% stake in it.
Its funny that if she keeps the baby, the first thing she does is go to court and try to get child support for the baby that a man has absolutely no business getting involved in. Funny how that works.

That is like saying that only men should vote on going to war, because they are the ones sacrificing they lives. Yet these same women are the loudest about war issues.

If a man and a woman have the egg fertilized in a lab and implanted in a donor woman to carry for them, is it her baby and can the donor have an abortion regardless of legal contract. Because I get the impression from above that it is a womans right that goes higher than law. That the baby in your womb is a possession that no man or woman can interfere with.
I know that this is a tough issue, but closing your eyes, holding your breath and stomping your feet, doesnt make it right.


If a man would accept his child and you could walk away from it when you gave birth, what kind of cruel person would you be that you would deny this from happening and abort the child for your own controlling issue.

Answer 3

That's because I tend to be suspicious of their true motives for being against abortion. If they can prove that they honestly are against it because they respect life, then I am not offended. However, if they state their opinions by also throwing in misogynistic comments, it makes me think that their real opposition has to do with a desire to control women and to punish them for having sex by making them go through an unwanted pregnancy. This is especially true when their interest in the child disappears after it is born and then they start complaining about how their tax dollars are being used to support all these children. Another thing I have noticed is how many of them will change their minds when something affects them personally. I have a relative who claims to be "pro-life" but when his daughter got pregnant several years ago, he not only insisted she have an abortion but he also offered to pay for it. His reason? He didn't like her boyfriend and didn't want her to marry him.

Answer 4

I cannot believe how much sexism this topic brings out in women. The stereotypes of men that the females are portraying are disgusting. I wonder if the women realise that when they put a man down, in some cases they are placing the woman in the role of a victim (jazzy l: If a women gets pregnant it is not just the fault of the man because HE did not put on the condom - geesh take some responsibility)

Women are not victims when it comes to sexual relationships they are active participants. And as active participants I think women are being irresponsible when aborting unwanted pregnancies, solely on the ground of not wanting the pregnancy.

If women cannot handle the consequences of their actions then they are probably not mature enough to be having sex in the first place.

I hear a lot of rhetoric from women stating that pregnancy can be life changing/threatening, but these same women never seem to state the risks of abortion which can also be life changing - how interesting.

Answer 5

the two adult men and ladies have a decision earlier concept as because of the contraceptives, yet basically women folk have a decision after because of the fact of abortion. of course basically women folk would desire to elect whether or not they choose an abortion or not, yet adult men would desire to be waiting to elect early on interior the being pregnant approximately whether or not they're going to help help the infant. rules that say a father would desire to help the infant have been in all probability created returned whilst abortion grew to become into not criminal and if it weren't then they could make experience. i'm fascinated by "financial abortion" rights, yet do not think of many interior the legislature could be brave sufficient to place it into regulation.

Answer 6

I don't get offended if females are against abortion either. I just want women to have the choice to do what they need to with their bodies; women are the ones who have to live with the consequences of what two people did, women don't get pregnant in a vacuum.

Answer 7

As long as my right to choose remains intact, I don't care what other people think about it.

Edit:
Assuming your statement is true, please explain this:

If "women *always* get upset whenever a male states he is against abortion" and "half of women are against abortion" then why are the women who are against abortion getting upset when somebody is agreeing with them?

Answer 8

It's not offensive for men to be against abortions. I understand that they often are as a matter of strong principles, as are many women who take an anti-abortion stance.
It's only offensive if they also suggest that pro-choice women just want an "easy" way out of pregnancy and don't acknowledge that our stance comes from a commitment to social justice.
I'm happy and grateful that my mother did choose to give birth and make the sacrifices she did so that I exist now.
Key word, my mother CHOSE to carry her pregnancy to term and therefore give birth to the person who turned out to be me.

I never forget that.

Answer 9

Actually, I read somewhere that 1 in 3 women will have at least one abortion in her lifetime.

Based on that, I would be very pleased to hear someone standing up for the rights of our unborn children, whether male or female.

Answer 10

I am not offended. People react differently to other people. It is the way people are. People can be or not be offended by whatever they want I guess. I respect other's views and opinions. So I am not offended. I am pro-choice. I would never get an abortion and I respect other peoples choices. It isn't my place in the world to tell someone how their life should be.
Maybe because the guy doesn't have to carry the baby for nine months??? Idk that is my best guess.

Answer 11

because they are the ones who have to give birth. It is thier bodies and they don't feel men have a good understanding of what that is like.
Men can always walk away from the situation and they can't.

I am not defending or condeming abbortion, This is just a common sense answer as to why women would feel that way. I have intentionally left out morality as that is an entirely different question.
