Men should not be allowed to be involved in the abortion debate. I am sorry to say this, but it has to be said. Men will never have to worry about getting pregnant, having to decide whither or not to have that child or abort it and will never have the responsibility to be a mother. Therefore, men, regardless of their position on abortion, should not have a say in the debate.
I am tired of men, especially white men, trying to decide what women of all races, religions and economic backgrounds should do with their bodies. Every man from the Supreme Court judges to President Bush needs to shut up about the topic. Let it stand where it is and stop trying to overturn it. I am willing to bet that a majority of women want abortion to remain safe and legal.
I saw this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym3QEAecmTU and then went to the website that promoted it and found the website very informational and helpful.
But in the video, a lot of the pro-life people were men, which got me upset and were the reason for writing this blog. Men will never know the choices that women make, so they need to stop pretending.
Also, a lot of women agree with me that it is a woman’s decision to have the abortion or the baby. Even in the case of rape or incest. Now, in cases like that, I would think an abortion should be conducted, but I will never tell a woman that she should or should not have an abortion anytime.
I recognize that some women regret their abortions but a lot of other women do not. It is true that some women get infections or are later become infertile because of an abortion. But these cases are rare and women always have and always will continue to have abortions, so we as a society need to make sure that if and when they do, they are receiving the safest way to have the procedure done and it should be done by a trained medical professional and not some person with a coat hanger.
