I say the guy doesn't need to have a say bc like ahems pointed out, its her body. She's the one that has to deal with the side effects and hardships on pregnancy so...  |
It is a health decision but most times we know that is NEVER the case more likely its just the woman deciding that she doesn't want it so she doesn't want to have it. If It was a contractual agreement by hospitals (doctors etc) I think its a better because sometimes you need someone to help aid your decision. Young woman especially aren't aware of the risks that abortion may have on their bodies but they get it because "they don't want to be a teen mom". Doctors and nurses can provide counseling before they decide to go to an "illegal abortion clinic" or use homemade remedies to get rid of the foetus (hopefully I'm not offending anyone by not calling it a child).
But yeah... I am aware what pregnancy does to a woman's body and I can see why priority will always go to the mother but we can't ignore the other 50% which is the man. He may not have to deal with the hardships but he will have to go through life thinking what would have happened if they had fathered that child, what happens if they never get to have another child again in the future?
FOR McBeth.. Im against the Death Penalty. It took me years to come to this decision but I think that no one has the right to take away a life. Even if that person has killed someone in the past Id rather they let them die from natural causes in solitary confinement or from their own doing than by having the pleasure of electrocuting them in a chair. Life is precious. No matter how disgusting that individual may be.
