26. Only the opinions of factory owners and workers are relevant to factory working conditions?

Non-factory-owning office workers should just shut up and mind their own business?

Your position about men's opinions on abortion also inherently presumes a particular, and uncommon, pro-choice position as the foregone resolution of the argument.

Part of the debate over abortion, whether you like it or care to acknowledge it, is whether or not the unborn have any value whatsoever, and deserve any protection under the law whatsoever.

That part of the debate, obviously, cannot be represented by the unborn. Men are just as qualified as women to weigh in on that part of the debate.

Also, whether you like it or not, the rough consensus in the US, including the positions of women, does recognize a growing degree of legal personhood for the unborn as a pregnancy progresses. Very few people support condition-free third-trimester abortions. Yes, I know those cases are rare, but how to handle rare cases is often one of the most fraught aspects of the law, and is always a valid thing to consider when creating laws.

I'm personally a strongly pro-choice man. I also totally understand how disgusting it is when we see images of committees and legislatures debating abortion without a woman in sight.

I'm not, however, going to nullify the value of my own opinion to satisfy a common pro-choice talking point. Of all of the pro-choice arguments out there, the "no womb, no say" is the weakest of them, and the one least likely to convince opponents.

Do you also tell women who've had hysterectomies, or who are otherwise infertile, to butt the hell out of the abortion argument?
