A man has a right to his body.

If he wants to abort the foetus he carries around, he has a right to.

Yes, 14 other species have 46 chromosomes, but how many of them are involved in abortion and how many debate about whether the males of that species should have a say in that abortion? Enough digression.

I believe a mam should have a say as the law requires him to give 25% of his earnings to the mother. If a man can't take part in choosing weather or not to keep the child then Tue law shouldn't require him to pay for the child.

Also, my above statement of fact proves that all abortions kill babies.
Therefore, any medical journal or anything I find pertaining to abortion will tell us that abortion kills babies.


Your statement didn't mention abortion. It said nothing about medical procedures. It's not proof.

So, what you're saying is that if a male sable antelope wants a female sable antelope to have a baby sable antelope against her will, it should be so?

How are they not human? You said that things with 46 chromosomes are human.

Are you saying you lied?

So, again, I say, read the definition, learn what a baby is, and then you will understand my argument.

I never realized that Sable Antelopes were human.

Zero.

Does that matter? No. Anything with 46 chromosomes is human. Your words, not mine:

Neither is a full human being. A foetus contains the full 46 chromosomes and therefore is a full human being. I agree with abortion but only up 24 weeks when the baby has a 50% chance of survival outside of the womb.

A man shouldn't have a choice about whether or no a woman has an abortion, no. They should, however, have a choice on whether or not to be a father. A mother-to-be can choose not to be a mother by aborting. A father-to-be should be able to give up the rights and responsibilities of being a father, thus not become a father, in similar fashion.

Once, I changed 46 chromosomes to 46 human chromosomes after I realised my mistake. That good enough for you?

Also, all of the people who quoted me (except whoever quoted me last because they did the quote when I was typing this message), quoted me saying that a foetus has 46 human chromosomes so I changed it quite a while ago.

... Just as much?

So... Men can carry around foetuses for 9 months until they're born?

They get cramps, sudden needs to shit, exhaustion, AND the pain of birth to deal with?

I don't think so.

I would rather think it would very much depend on the nature of the relationship that produced the pregnancy.
