Hello,
I am a college student taking a women’s studies course and am trying to research the role of men in abortion. Of the few men willing to speak with me about it, all have denied ever being in a situation where they were asked their opinion of an abortion being performed on their offspring. When given a choice they all say they would want to be involved in making the choice and all claimed the choice should include their input. The men I interviewed were all of the ages of 18 to 23 and were in college. Does this indicate a greater level of understanding among young men seeking education of the plight of the woman or are they just trying to avoid the problems that come with such a decision?
I have been unable to find much written on men and abortion and what little I have found is appalling. They are all depicted as either un-caring or judgmental against the women involved. They are toted as oafs and hellions with out a care for the woman, or her possible child. Am I alone in the category of men that believe that a man has a right and a duty to be involved with the decision of the future of a life they are responsible for creating? What about the cost and trauma the woman or girl in many cases must suffer through? Do the men who helped them into the situation simply walk away, giving neither encouragement, assistance or support? Also, how many of the men involved are made to be financially responsible for the process? If the abortions are not performed, they will surely more often than not become liable for child support. What about un-child support? Are the women afraid of seeking the opinions of these men? Or do the men make it clear that they feel no onus to the woman or possible child?
The women have the final say in their own lives and health, yet are the men then simply excused and forgotten? Do the majority of men see abortion as a way out of a bad situation? If so, shouldn’t they be forced to accept the cost and the reality of what it is they are asking of the women they so recently couldn’t do without? I am simply curious. I believe a woman has the right to decide, but shouldn’t the man also have the right to be involved, or the responsibility to assist the woman emotionally and financially through out the process? After all, if they support the abortion, they are not likely to have to pay child support, but if they had to pay abortion support, would they not be a little more careful? More mindful of what they are doing?
As I indicated my personal opinion is that the woman has final say either way, but if men were forced to be financially responsible, would they then take measures to prevent the situation more diligently? I believe that this is the way we need to move. Not toward a fight between philosophies but towards accountability and understanding. I believe any woman or girl who goes through an abortion should be financially supported by the man, from the moment of discovery till the healing and recovery of the women, mentally as well as physically, then maybe abortion wouldn’t be the issue so much as accountability. If more men had to face the reality just as a woman does, would there be fewer unwanted pregnancies? Or would it simply create more strife and court cases?

About tiem that somebody saw the Man’s perspective on this issue. I am not saying the man deserves all the rights of women but there should be some consideration along some process to consider the man in some way on this complicated issue,

Ray, it might help to focus a little tighter on the men.
Divide them into parents/non-parents, and divide the parents into single/non-custodial/cohabiting or married. Classify the last group according to less than or more than five years.
I am sure you will find large divergence among the various groups. You will also find that the more involved the man is with caring for the child, the more strongly will he support a woman’s right to determine how many children she can raise well (“pro-lifers” call this abortion).
Since a large number of so-called “pro-life” men are married, you need to look at how many children they have and how well those children are being raised. For background information on what constitutes good child-rearing, there are any number of books about child development. I have specialized in identifying bad childrearing techniques, so if you want to go to the back door, I’d recommend you start with “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” by Terence Real (on the lack of fathering) or “For Your Own Good,” by Alice Miller (exploring how bad parenting made Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jews, Romany, etc., acceptable to the population).
As a single parent, I found out that guys in general are clueless– they counted on their women to handle the kid’s needs, especially the emotional ones. But the closer they got to having to care for the kids, the more balanced their view of a woman’s right to abortion. The farther away they were from having to care for human life, the more mindlessly doctrinaire they could be about “the sanctity of life,” etc.
Of course, this I learned 30 years ago, and guys might have come around since then, but judging from your post, I don’t think much has changed.
But you do need to tie in the man’s present level of care for human life with his stated level of care about human life to get a good perspective.

Wonderful Blog by the way–I am hoping you can help. Few people have met a more stalwart advocate for abortion rights than me. I am looking for information concerning stats on women who are persuaded to have abortions during inpatient stays at psychiatric hospitals. Now, as a former abortion counselor, it is critical, I think, that women continue to enjoy the right to safe, legal abortions with full informed consent. Now, if women who are are being pressured to have abortions but are told that they are not well enough to leave the hospital I think this perverts our rights to choice. I walk a thin line here because I do not want to legitimize any ideas that having an abortion causes trauma to woman, but having one under duress, pressure from external sources may. Feel free not to post this comment but to respond to me directly. In any case, your site is wonderful. Thanks, April Bradley, Guilford, CT

hi,
I just wanted to say that abortion is very wrong. If you get pregnant then its your own fault and you should have to put up with the consequences. If you get pregnant from rape or something, then why don’t you have the baby and put it up for adoption? there are so many people out there that would give anything to be able to have a child. If you gave it up for adoption, it would for one, cost less, you wouldn’t have to put up with the guilt and shame or even the pain. I also would like to know how many people even know the full facts of abortions? Do you know what kinds of dicusting things they do to kill unborn babies? Just because they haven’t come out into the world yet doesn’t mean they don’t feel! People and doctors say that because it hasen’t come out of the whome yet it isn’t considered living. Doesn’t a babies heart start to beet a few weeks after its concieved? Doesn’t that make it a living thing? And what about those babies that were born premature? I believe there was one that was born only four months into the pregnancy and lived!! A child isn’t alive at the moment it comes out of the whom! its alive the moment its concieved!!

I agree with Patrica, abortion is the killing of the unborn child, no excuses. If you get yourself into having a baby it your and bf, husband, etc’s responsiblity and killing the child is not the answer. We must protect the unborn child. To all of you who are pro-abortion you all are dead flat wrong for your beliefs someday us strong pro-life supporters will reserver the roe vs wade decision that started legal abortions in 1973. Prolife is the only way to be and the way god and jesus want’s it to be. you are killing someone each time you have an abortion. do you get my point. prolife is the only christian way to be okay. i’m serious.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM PROUD TO SAY I HAD A BABY, AND SHE IS NOW 22 YRS OLD, AND I’M PROUD TO SAY,
THAT NO ONE CONVINCED ME TO DO OTHERWISE,
I WAS TOLD I DIDN’T WANT HER, BUT I DID!!
I ALMOST LOST HER!! BUT I AM GLAD SHE’S OK!
I WISH EVERYONE COULD KNOW WHAT ALL THEY DO,
TO DO A ABORTION, AND ALL THE THINGS
THEY DO, THAT THEY DON’T SAY!
AND HOW MANY OF THEM ARE REALLY ALIVE
AND THEN, KILLED, AFTER THEY ARE OUT—
SOME DON’T DIE RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IT,
AND THEN, THEY DO SOMETHING TO IT,
TO MAKE IT DIE,
THAT’S TOTALLY SICK!!
WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT THEY DO,
AND IF THEY HAVE ONES THAT ARE ALIVE
WHEN THEY ARE IN THAT MACHINE AND WHAT
THEY DO THEN. ITS OUR RIGHT!!
