I think a lot of men are against abortion because of what you just said. It's not to enslave women or make them into their objects. They simply care about children, particularly the one's they bring into this world. I believe they feel a bit ostracized by reproductive rights.
Perhaps instead of focusing on making abortion illegal, they could see what it takes to remove the conditions that put a woman into such a situation.
I think women need to have that option open to them, for their own safety and control over their bodies. But I don't know of many women who would like to find themselves making such a choice.
I almost put this at the end of the thread on abortion, but I wanted this to be taken on it's own merit. If something like this idea were to go through, I think it would clear up a lot of these problems about procreation and who is responsible. I also hope this doesn't get de-railed.
Or that I'm doing the de-railing.
