> I've never heard anyone vocally supporting abortion rights consider for any moment if or how much of the decision should be made together with the father. That to me is wrong and equally immoral. It's always "my body, my rules", not "my baby, my rules" as I think it should be, at least to an extent.
I absolutely 100% think ultimately women should have the right to choose an abortion or not but I've always found the way pro-abortion people suggest that those on the other side are motivated by wanting to take rights away from women. It seems pretty obvious to me that if you believe a fetus counts as a human being you'd be opposed to abortion because you don't like the idea of killing humans, not because you want to keep women down.
I wonder if the rhetoric about choosing an abortion or not rarely even mentioning the father is partly to reinforce the branding of abortion as a women's rights type issue instead of a more general reproductive rights issue?
Because as a man I'm pro-abortion not just for the good of pregnant women who want to choose to have one, but also for their partners who may not want to have a baby either. I certainly don't want a child (neither does my partner) and I certainly would worry about her somehow ending up pregnant if we didn't live somewhere you could get abortions
