One would expect an agent for reducing population and therefore assisting in developing nations to be pro human.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

A very simplified example, but yes. Men are also responsible, community minded, and aren't afraid of work like "men" are these days.


It's like the world's biggest No True Scotsman.

Considering that an unwanted foetus isn't a family member, no it isn't.

This crap about "it's my body" is nonsense.


It isn't, you share that body with your child for that 9 months or so.


I have no respect for women that get abortions out of selfishness.

And I have no respect for people who want women enslaved to any man who knocks her up. Seems we've reached an impasse.

Your article doesn't say that.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

I firmly believe that Men should have no say in abortion. The choice to have an abortion should remain with the Woman. It's her body, and it is her choice on what she wants to do with the fetus. No one else should try to force her to change her decision.

BS, what is a "sustainable population"? That isn't what abortion is about, it's about "choice" of which their isn't much, you know with people like "Planned Parenthood" advertising the supposed inherent good of abortion, and people like Loretta Ross encouraging anti-family hedonist lifestyles.

Planned Parenthood was founded by an evil woman as remains an evil organization to this day.

No.

They shouldn't be expected, either legally or culturally, to support the woman if they object to her decision, though.

Legally, after viability, I would say yes (should the hypothetical abortion somehow be a non-essential choice).

Socially, if the pregnancy was the result of consensual intercourse between two loving partners, I would also say yes. I'd be hurt if my significant other did not involve me or ask for my opinion on such a difficult choice. But, I wouldn't want to press charges against her for keeping me out of the loop. If I wanted kids and felt ready to support them, I might leave her, but I wouldn't want a third party getting involved in my relationships.

Beyond that, men shouldn't be involved unless they're performing the procedure.
