You beat me to it...
A man should only have a say if he is married to the woman.
No need to open another can of worms.
Like hell! That’s the attitude that has made men slaves to women.
If it’s “My body, my choice”, then it should also be “Your choice, your responsibility”.
As someone who lost a wanted child because the woman involved, who by the way a year later became my wife, decided at the time of the pregnancy college was more important than a baby, I disagree. The baby is just as much the man’s child as the woman’s.
We never had children because of damage done during the abortion. She died 22 years later from aggressive breast cancer which I blame on her abortion at age 20. The pro abortion people like to talk about women’s health. There is nothing healthy about abortion.
My first wife called me when I was in the barracks in Germany. It was 1985 - no cell phones.
I had to go down to the CQ desk to take the call. Two people sitting at the desk could hear every word I said on the phone. My soon-to-be ex-wife was in Atlanta, I was in Augsburg, Germany.
It seems that our lovemaking before I went to Germany had borne fruit. But, as my wife explained to me, she had got an abortion of the child that we created, because she did not want to be pregnant after she joined me in Germany. She wanted to tour Europe free of this “handicap”.
I slid to the floor in front of the CQ desk, and whispered into the phone, “You did what?”, trying my best not to let the CQ folks hear this conversation.
She joined me in Germany a month later, and we began touring Europe. She must’ve thought that the baby she killed was easily replaceable. We tried every way possible to become pregnant again — you name it, different positions, rhythm method, etc. - but it never happened.
We were frustrated in this way for three years in Germany. But she got to tour Europe!
I divorced her the minute we returned to the states. I found my second wife and we were pregnant even before we were married.
I now have two wonderful daughters!
