Thread: Abortion Ethics

In my opinion the male should have some kind of say if it was a result of consensual intercourse. If it was rape then the man should have no say in the matter. It is ultimately the woman's choice since it is her body and health, but it takes 2 to tango and that baby wouldn't even be possible without the man. But it is a tough issue since it is hard to justify giving another person rights to your body, so it ultimately would never happen. I believe women have every right to an abortion, I just wish woman would take the man's opinion into consideration before making a decision.

I'm with Mr. E and MrTroy in that this is one issue where I'm just glad I don't have to make a binding decision on this.

But I would think that abortion is considered by a couple, the decision reached is one that both members have reached together.

Of course, it also goes without saying that if the man runs out and has no desire to have anything to do with the mother's life or the baby's potential life, he loses his say in the matter.
