(10,789 posts)Living on the west coast, I fortunately don't think I'll have to worry about it.
But I'll say it anyway, as being male, in the past I was prone to saying I didn't need to have an opinion because I would never be pregnant.
I said that to someone a couple years back, and then was asked to consider - what if things were reversed and normal intimate relations resulted in males becoming pregnant, what if I did have to have an opinion? Thinking about it a little, there is no doubt in my mind that it would be entirely my choice whether to bear a child into the world with my body. Entirely and absolutely my choice, no one else's, regardless of the law or anything else.
Women have that right, and its not for the government or any religion to infringe upon it.
