... it's a matter of wording. 'Debate' is the key word for me here. I think, politically, that men should NOT be involved in the debate. It is mostly men who are making these rules about us having a say over our bodies. So, no, they should not be part of it. Some guy in DC is deciding what I should do with my body?! Not.

In a personal committed relationship, though, men should be part of it. That is healthy. It takes two to get pregnant in the first place, and the two partners should be working as a team.

If there is a pregnancy in a casual relationship, then I think the woman has most of the say in the decision around it, unless the man is willing to become committed in a huge way at that point. Usually they just run away, though!

It's a touchy situation no matter what, but I believe women should be allowed control of their bodies and final decisions.
