Do you think only women should have the vote?

Question

Women like me? It's women like me who won the vote for other women.

Answer 1

I am pro-choice but I don't hink it's right that you don't consult the man. Ultimatley it should come down to the woman's decision but if he is willing to care for the child then I would let him.

Oh and no women like you did not win the vote for other women. It was women who spent long hors working in munitions factories to keep the war effort alive that won the vote for women.

Answer 2

according to law and humanity it belongs to both. you can get the same before fealings without the latter feelings with protection don`t forget the protection. protection to end all before it begins to become a problem for anyone.

Answer 3

No, that is not right, it took a seed and a pot to make the plant. (Seed being man, pot being woman, plant being baby) The seed and the pot should have equal say. It is their creation of life together and the fetus shares an equal amount of chromosomes from both parents.

This isn't right by a long shot, nor is it equal.

I disagree with you entirely. Oh and for answering the question, I answered the question you asked while criticizing because its sexist and WRONG. I do not agree with it at all.

I am pro choice, but I think using emotion as a way to get back at a man, as a form of birth control is just wrong.  I think the only time a child should be aborted if it is the product of incest, rape or the pregnancy may kill the mother.

I think if you're not old enough or financially able to support a child and you have it aborted, well tough luck, you and your husband/boyfriend were being irresponsible in your sexual life and now you have to deal with the consequences (Or should have to deal.)

It is not fair to take a possible life just for a couple being irresponsible.

But still, men have feelings too, they should have a say.

Answer 4

The man may provide the seed, but he has feelings about the child just like the woman does.  When my husband came with me for my ante-natal scans for instance, he was just as thrilled to see the baby as I was.

I would hope that any woman who was pregnant would consider the father's feelings as well as her own before deciding to have an abortion, since men have feelings too, though this may come as a surprise to you.

Answer 5

Yes I agree, it's go nothing to do with gender it just who's body it's in. So the same if it's a L*****n relationship with donor.

It's a HUGE impact on the body and also it's usually the woman who will end up being the full time carer. Men who are against abortions would they be prepared to give up work and care full time for the baby?

Answer 6

I disagree, I think both men and women should vote on this should there ever be a vote on it. I don't think society gives fathers enough credit when we use the terms "they just provide the seed", this statement, in fact is false. It is implying that once an ovum is fertilized the father no longer has any responsibility in raising the child once it is born. I think a fathers contribution when a pregnancy occures is often overshadowed by the woman who carries the child. Sure we have to go through morning sickness, hormonal changes and the pain of labor and delivery, but I have to say through all three of my pregnancies I would not have fared so well had my husband not been so good about everything he went through. No I'm not talking about"sympathy pains", I'm talking about running out and getting me anything I craved, no matter when, being sympathetic and understanding when I would laugh one minute and cry the next or spend all day crying, standing by the toilet and holding my hair back while I puked every morning, being there everytime I needed him to be, as well as being supportive in the delivery room. During labor with my first child I actually broke three of his fingers, he never said a word until after the baby was born.

I am not trying to marginalize what women go through but I don't think we should marginalize what men go through. Too often it is played out that men don't do anything but sit around enjoying life while we suffer, it's just not true.

I also firmly believe that once a woman gets pregnant she has opted to give up rights to her body for the baby. It is not fair when two people create a life that the woman gets to decide, and trump, the father on abortion issues. I really think there needs to be something that allows a father to keep the child and retain sole custody after it is born if the woman dosn't want it and would rather abort. And quite frankly it may not be too far off, all it will take is enough men to feel that their rights to their child has been violated for something like this to occur.

Answer 7

I totally agree with you. I mean why should men try and make abortion illegal . They have no clue. If it was men that could get pregnant then i bet the situation would be a totally different right. Abortion would then be prasied as a wonderful thing.

By the way , your like the first person ive come across in a while with the same opinion as me :)

Answer 8

I agree (yes, horrible gender-traitor that I am). Males shouldn't have the option to legislate something that has little to no effect on us. We (as a gender and as a species in general) have no business telling a woman she HAS to carry a baby to term if it is against her will. That's violation on a level I can't even comprehend...

I'm Pro-choice politically, against abortion personally (I'm a big proponant of birth control), but the choice should be hers.

Answer 9

I disagree with you only because about half of the unborn child's genetic substrate is the father's.

Men don't come equipped with uteri, so we don't yet have the technology to inseminate men.  I'm sure that if we did have this technology, many men who would love to have a child wouldn't have any issue with carrying the unborn to full term.

But, secular laws supersede my opinion in this matter, thus I abide by secular law as it pertains to reproductive matters.

Answer 10

In abortion matters, yes. Doesn't mean men can't dislike abortion, be sad or angry that an abortion happened when they didn't want it, protest against abortion, etc., but men have no business legislating it.

It's very telling that far more women than men are pro-choice, isn't it?  

Answer 11

I completely disagree with you.  I do not think only women should be able to vote on abortion matters.  I understand and completely respect your opinion.  I just don't agree.  I feel that it takes two to make a child.  Women aren't spontaneously becoming pregnant.  I'm sorry, Virgin Mary is long since gone.  This means men are involved in creating a child.  As such, they have the right to voice their opinion on abortion issues, just as women do.  And they way to do is is through the polling process.

Answer 12

So when issues come up regarding homosexuals, they should be the only ones to vote!  So you only want those who the policy will affect have the right to vote.   Thats a grand idea!! So in the matter of abortion, the unborn should vote since those are the ones if really affects!  They are the ones getting ripped apart, having holes pounded in the backs of their skulls, left sometimes still breathing in a trash can until they stop breathing.  Feeling all the pain of being killed by the very person who should love them the most! It is a wonderful idea!  We will let the unborn decide if abortion is a good idea!!
