If abortion is legal then the man should have absolutely no responsibility in taking care of the child if he chooses. If abortion is illegal, the man must pay and take care of the child with support and such. This is the only clear conclusion I have with abortion. It puts the power of choice back to the women, she better be choosy on who she wants to get pregnant with…
On a side note… I know one person who I see regularly that had an abortion a while ago. They have not once mentioned anything about it with all this going on. In fact they have never mentioned anything relating to the topic. I don’t know how they feel on the issue now, but I doubt it’s proud. This person talks to me about everything, esp stuff in the news.
I personally am opposed to abortion, I think its wrong on a personal level but on a societal level too. However, the topic of abortion and killing animals for food (I eat animals) are the hardest philosophical questions for man in my opinion… with suicide and assisted suicide coming much later. I don’t have the answers and who knows if there is one. The spectrum within killing innocence (baby or animal) or surviving (welfare or food) usually gets pushed to opposing ends. The gray area is messy, and involving the termination of life raises emotions quick. War of course is the ultimate fallout.
