I feel like the man has the right to know. I don't feel like the man can determine the decision. The pregnancy physically affects the women more obviously and I ultimately think it's her decision. It also depends on the relationship between the mother and the father how much influence the man should have in my opinion.

Cinco De Mayo is not Mexican independence day. That's on September 16th. It is the day of military victory over France, not Spain. Cinco De Mayo is a much bigger holiday is the US.

Yes the man should have a say in abortions because the baby is just as much his as it is the womens

# data[].attributes.body
yes the man should be able to put some of his cents into it. The women an the father of the child both need to come together an make a decision. But if they cant seem to make up one the women has the choice of her own if she is going to keep the baby or not.

I believe that a man should have just as much say the woman has. The baby is just as much his as it is hers. If the mother had an abortion could the man sue her for killing his child that he loved and wanted to care for. Men have just as much responsibly as the women. If she didn't want the baby and he did; he could always have full custody of the child and the women would never have to see the baby again. So yes I think the man should have just as much say as the woman.

Is it easier/better to be a man or a women in today's society? In what ways is it easier to me a man? Woman?

How much influence should the man have when it comes to abortion? Should the father have any say at all in what the woman carrying their baby does?

I am pro-choice, but I don't support people having abortions just because they want to. Abortion is a great alternative if the mother is I'm danger, if the child has a 0% chance of survival, or it's like an eptopic pregnancy which will kill both mother and baby if not taken care of.

After reading your post and looking at your picture I have to say that I still believe  that there are two sides to the story. There are so many different scenarios that could have went down weather she willingly slept with the boy and now she regretting it, or weather she was drugged at a party and raped and now she doesn't want anyone to find out so she is trying to find a way out.

"One method of destroying a concept is by diluting its meaning. Observe that by ascribing rights to the unborn, i.e., the nonliving, the anti-abortionists obliterate the rights of the living." - Ayn Rand

This quote brings up another big point of pro choice people. When people are so insistent that abortion is never okay because it is taking away the freedoms of the fetus, they don't realize that they are ridding the women carrying the fetus to the freedom of their own body. Instead, they are giving rights to something that isn't living yet and taking away the rights from a women that should have them.

Everyone seems to have very strong opinions about this topic, but our R1s do seem somewhat open to hearing other opinions. Most of them said things like "I can understand why..." Reading other people's opinions not only enlightened me on opinions that differ from mine, but also brought up new points that reinforce my opinion. Most people only looked at people that had similar views to them though, but I'm pretty sure I did the same thing. This is obviously a very difficult topic and it can be awkward to try to respond with an opposing view to someone else.

This piece is a pro-choice illustration. The only thing covering the lady's body are the words, "not yours." This is to show that a woman's body does not belong to anyone but them self. In the background it says things like "your god is not my god," "mothers are pro-choice too," "pro-women means all women not just the ones who think or look like you," "the validity of my womanhood is not yours to determine," etc. This is a very pro feminism and pro-choice piece of art that bring up a lot of feelings of people that are pro choice.

This article is about how women's brains respond to abortions. Women get the most emotional attachment to relationships. Their brains "tend and befriend" in relationships and with no baby to do this with, their brains become extremely depressed.

The bias in this to me seems like people just looking for more reasons to not like abortion. I know people do this for the other side of this topic as well, but this article seems to be pushing it. I don't think you can categorize every woman's brain in the same way and this is what this article is doing.

This article speaks on 10 reasons why abortion is against Christianity. Very many reasons are related to murder being a sin. To this person, abortion is viewed as something that ruins and gets in the way of God's plan and that is not something that anyone should disrupt.

I like what you had to say about your first positive article choice. I agree that it is very necessary that women retain the right to do what they want with their bodies. This article in particular helped me see the importance in teaching younger girls that the right to abortion is a freedom to control their own body. Rather than going around telling young girls that it is a form of murder in any circumstance, which would scare them out of ever thinking this freedom is acceptable and necessary.

I feel that there are many occasions that abortion is okay, but there are some situations where they're even more okay. For example, if having the child would cause serious injury or death to the person carrying the baby, I feel that there is no reason that they shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion. Also if someone is raped and gets pregnant, there shouldn't be debate over whether or not an abortion should be allowed. If a person was raped, they are already facing serious emotional and physical trauma. Having the child that was a result of rape would just be a constant reminder of the traumatic experience. The carrier would have to go through the pain of carrying a baby for nine months and then giving birth to it. All of these things, they would most likely be doing with intense resentment. Adoption would also be difficult because I feel that it would be difficult for a child to be adopted if the people adopting knew that the child was a result of a rape incident. Therefore, I believe that there are certain situations that abortion is necessary if the carrier want it. Sometimes having a child would cause far too many issues and the option that makes the most sense would be to have an abortion.

Jemima Kirke, actress for the TV show Girls, recently spoke about her abortion. She stated that she was not ready to have a child yet and did not want to be tied to her college boyfriend. She does not speak with regret about the subject and is very hopeful that her three daughters she has now will be able to understand and experience the freedom of being able to choose what to do with their bodies.

According to Pollit, abortion is not a "necessary evil" but good for society. It encourages making choices about yourself and dealing with morals. Abortion allows people to have more financial freedom and be able to plan their lives without the fear of having to factor in if pregnancy occurs. It also gives women a way to prevent an unnecessary health risk. Lastly, it prevents suffering to the women. Pregnancy can cause emotional and physical trauma and abortion prevents it. This article also speaks about the effective ways that Pollit knocked down the false "facts" about abortion.

"Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by the removal or forcing out from the womb of a fetus or embryo before it is able to survive on its own.". If it occurs naturally and spontaneously it is called a miscarriage. If it takes place purposefully it is called an "induced abortion." If it takes place after the fetus can survive on its own, it is known as "late termination of pregnancy." It can be done through medication or surgery for induced abortion. Two types medications or surgery work equally well during the first trimester. In the second trimester, surgery has less side effects. It has a long history of being one of the safest procedures in medicine. With no complications, abortion does not cause mental or physical issues. Unsafe abortions result in 47,000 maternal deaths. Approximately 44 million abortions take place globally each year. When surgical abortion is legal and available, unsafe methods of abortion are rarely used.
