Ok, I’ll try to explain in different words: I, personally, would not choose an abortion. But I’m male and well enough off with a sufficiently good support network by friends and family so that I’m fairly confident I could make a good living even as a single parent. We do have a 2yo kid, so I have a rough idea of how much work even a single one can be :) I wish that no abortions were necessary. It’s an ordeal. A human in the making doesn’t get to live. (I consciously avoid “killed”, I don’t consider 8 week old embryos living beings). In that sense I’m against abortions. I wish we wouldn’t need them. For the record: I’m not religious. However, other people’s circumstances differ. A woman has to actually carry the child to term. Pregnancy is a major health risk. Kids rate high as risk factor for poverty. Men tend to leave families and leave the kid behind. They might not feel ready for a kid yet. I value their bodily autonomy higher than my limited personal view on the matter. I can’t possibly enforce my choice on them. I’m pro reducing abortions. I’m against banning them. It’s their choice to make and I’ve know people go through that and I’ve never felt like it was an easy choice to them. I consider myself lucky that I was never forced to make that decision. The only way out of that dilemma is to help people not end up facing that choice (sex education, easy access to birth control, ...) and to make it easier for people to decide against abortions (health care, child support, ...) Reduce total harm inflicted. I consider anyone calling himself pro-life without first tackling those issues to be a fake. So that’s where I’m at.
